Belarus leader hails SCO's unique model of regional security

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is a forward-looking organization, with the unity of its members and their ability to make coordinated decisions proving especially valuable in today’s transition toward a just multipolar world order, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview with Xinhua, Caliber.Az reports.

According to Lukashenko, over more than 20 years, the SCO has created a unique model of regional security and development based on multilateral cooperation.

The organisation has shown that security challenges can be addressed not through confrontation, but through joint measures such as intelligence sharing, military exercises, and trust-building among member states. These efforts have helped prevent hundreds of terrorist attacks and establish a system that stabilises the Eurasian region.

“One can say that the SCO is steadily becoming a global diplomatic player. The organization offers a new approach to international relations, distinct from Western models of hegemony. Through the ‘Shanghai spirit,’ it promotes equal cooperation and compromise. The SCO integrates the ‘Belt and Road’ initiative, develops principles of digital governance, and creates dialogue platforms for developing countries,” Lukashenko added.
