MOSCOW SUMMIT: Lukashenko calls for tighter cooperation within CSTO to resist foreign pressures

Belarus is calling upon the Collective Security Treaty Organization member-countries to step up political cooperation to resist foreign pressures, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at the opening of the organization’s jubilee summit in Moscow on Monday.

“Stronger political cooperation and coordination by the CSTO member-states. The effectiveness of the mechanism of foreign policy and security consultations must be increased. We should speak out on behalf of the CSTO on international platforms more often to make the organization’s voice and stance well-heard and seen. There must be a common voice and a common stance, the way they are in the West,” he said.

Lukashenko warned that the CSTO’s “opponents and foes” were systematically shaking loose the basis and relations of alliance.

“In this respect we play into the hands of the West in a sense. I am certain that if we presented a common front, there would have never been what they call ‘sanctions from hell’,” he stressed.
