MOSCOW, November 23. /TASS/. CSTO member states emphasized the need to establish a sustainable security system in Eurasia and expressed their openness to working together with all interested states and international associations towards this goal, says the joint statement from CSTO foreign ministers, published on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.

The foreign ministers "state with regret the increase of the power factor in international relations and the expansion of a conflict space."

"The new geopolitical reality that emerged amid the regional and international controversies, as well as the accelerated emergence of the multipolar world, underscore the demand for a sustainable security system in Eurasian space," the statement reads. "Based on the principle of indivisible security in global and regional aspects, CSTO member states are open to joint work on the establishment of a security architecture with all interested states and international associations in accordance with goals and principles of the UN Charter."

The foreign ministers stated their interest in strengthening the atmosphere of good-neighborliness, which becomes "increasingly more relevant for rapidly developing states of the Eurasian space, as well as in ensuring preconditions for a true and sustainable peace, which guarantee protection from any threat to their security."

In this regard they stated their intent to strengthen coordination and further cooperation in order to "make a positive contribution to the business of ensuring security, stability and peace in the Eurasian space, and to develop the cooperation potential on this track with other states and associations within the CSTO framework."

The ministers also emphasized the need to strengthen cooperation to improve "joint mechanisms on ensuring security in the Eurasian space" in the interest of "maintaining a sustainable peace and stability, prevention of deepening of separation lines in the region, conflicts, military presence of non-regional actors and creation of threats to each other."
