On April 7, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in Moscow with heads of diplomatic missions from a number of Eurasian countries accredited in Russia.
In his opening remarks, the Minister gave principled assessments of the security situation in Eurasia. He pointed out the Euro-Atlantic security concept crisis, brought the attendees' attention to NATO countries' dangerous moves aimed at destabilising the Asia-Pacific region, and mentioned the explosive situation in the Middle East and stability risks in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
An exchange of views was held on issues related to implementing President Putin's initiative to create new security architecture in Eurasia with the participation of all Eurasian countries and their associations. The participants emphasised the importance of stability in Eurasia, the principle of indivisible security, and Eurasian countries' primary responsibility in addressing Eurasian issues. The importance of the international conference held in Minsk annually as a venue for a serious discussion of Eurasian security issues was underscored as well.
The Minister brought the audience's attention to the initiative put forward by the Republic of Belarus which was supported by the Russian Federation to prepare the Eurasian 21st Century Diversity and Multipolarity Charter which is a policy document that could be used to lay out the continental security architecture framework parameters.
The discussion revolved around other international issues as well, including Russia-US dialogue and the Ukraine settlement.
