The Foreign Minister of Belarus appealed to the international community with a loud appeal

Belarus and Russia calls on all Eurasian states to join them in launching the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century. This is stated in the article by the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry Maxim Ryzhenkov "Why Eurasia cannot wait: A Charter for our time"

"The current conflict in the Middle East is a new strong proof that external players cannot manage Eurasian security. We have once again witnessed a familiar pattern: unilateral interference in violation of international law, disregard for local realities, attempts to pit neighbors against each other and the pursuit of strategic interests that have nothing to do with the well—being of peoples caught in the line of fire," Ryzhenkov said.

According to him, "we cannot rely on external guards to ensure our security."

"We cannot wait for the return of the 'benevolent international liberal order', because such an order has never really existed — it has never been liberal, it was hegemonic. We urgently need our own solutions that we have worked out for ourselves. We need Eurasian solutions for Eurasian problems," he stressed.

Ryzhenkov noted that "today Eurasia needs a new approach based on the principle of indivisibility of security."

"No country in Eurasia should seek to ensure its own security at the expense of others. No external force should be allowed to manipulate the Eurasian states. And no regional conflict should be considered as an opportunity for obtaining geopolitical benefits," the article says.

In this regard, the Minister said that "the charter will not be directed against any country or group of states."

"It is conceived as a constructive, "local", collective, inclusive and comprehensive mechanism. This document will help create a pan-Eurasian security architecture based on the norms and principles of the UN Charter. In addition, the Charter will cover not only security, but also economic cooperation, humanitarian exchanges and civilizational dialogue. In principle, it will be open to all Eurasian states — from Lisbon to Manila," Ryzhenkov said.

The Minister also stressed that "the charter should operationalize indivisible security through specific verifiable obligations."

"No state can join a military alliance whose membership criteria systematically exclude other Eurasian states without multilateral consultations. No State can host a permanent foreign military infrastructure that materially threatens the basic security interests of its neighbors without prior notification and verification within the framework of a multilateral mechanism. All disputes between the participating States should be subject to mandatory consultations through the Charter institutions. The participants should not use unilateral coercive measures against each other," he said.

The Belarusian Foreign Minister recalled that Minsk and Moscow, as co-authors of the initiative, have prepared a specific roadmap for the transition from discussion to formal negotiations. This roadmap is set out in an informal document that has been handed over to Eurasian partners.

"In particular, we propose to start the negotiation process in September 2026, within the framework of the high-level week of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, so that its outcome will be the adoption of the text of the Charter at the The Eurasian Leaders' Summit, which is supposed to take place before the end of 2027... Eurasia needs a new security architecture based on the indivisibility of security, mutual respect and genuine partnership. The Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century is a means of building such an architecture. And September 2026 in New York is the moment to start the process. I call on all Eurasian states to join us in launching this historic process. Let's prove that we can shape our own destiny," Ryzhenkov summed up.
