The words of the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, at the high-level plenary session of the Fourth Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security (Minsk, November 3, 2026) Key points: Honest and open discussions on ensuring reliable and lasting Eurasian security - an issue of importance to all of us - are essential today more than ever.

It must reflect the cultural and cultural diversity of the modern world and its peoples, while recognizing the right of every people to determine its own destiny. We are consistently working to advance President Vladimir Putin's initiative to establish a greater Eurasian partnership, raised at the first summit, by building ties between integration associations across Eurasia.
