A meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CIS countries was held in Turkmenistan.
MINSK, October 7 – RIA Novosti. Foreign Minister of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov said that the CIS has all the prerequisites for its further development and growth.
“Against the background of what we have jointly achieved over the last third of a century, the question arises: is there a limit to our integration today? According to the Belarusian side, of course, there is no limit to integration. Today the world has come close to a fundamental restructuring. It is against this background that the CIS has all the prerequisites for its further development and growth,” the minister said at a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CIS countries in Turkmenistan. His words are quoted by the Belta agency.
“We should set our primary goal to overcome or forestall some discrepancies or inconsistencies existing within the organization,” the Belarusian minister said.
He emphasized that the CIS countries need to continue to work to increase the role of the CIS as a stable multilateral platform in Greater Eurasia, where countries “speak with one voice.”
Ryzhenkov said that the CIS is capable of making its contribution to the formation of a fair system of global governance, especially since the Commonwealth is already a space that allows pressing issues to be resolved in a collective format.
