Participants discussed current security challenges and threats across the Commonwealth of Nations and common steps they can take to address them. They also reviewed the results of the International Week of the Peoples of Russia.
Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Sergei Shoigu: The countries of the Global South and East are playing an increasingly influential role in world politics and the world economy, shaping the course of international relations and the contours of the security architecture. Under the current circumstances, it is important to work together to put mechanisms in place so that we are prepared to deal with the consequences of international crises as they arise.
Russia has proposed that the BRICS and SCO establish emergency reserves to help people in partner countries in an emergency.
The proposal is to establish regional hubs at key points in the logistics network to hold essential reserves, mainly food and energy supplies, critical materials, medicine and other essential products.
