MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. The West continues its attempts to destabilize the situation around the world, but its destructive actions are not always successful, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu said.

"Western countries continue to rely on their preferred method of postcolonial governance, using interference in political and electoral processes, illegal restrictive measures, incitement of discord, information warfare and religion to fuel tensions in various regions of the world," he said at the 14th annual meeting of secretaries of the Security Councils of CIS member states.

Shoigu added that these actions are ineffective in countries where the authorities put the interests of their people first, along with sovereignty, stability, and spiritual, cultural and historical traditions.

"Countries of the Global South and East are becoming increasingly influential in politics and the economy, shaping the direction of international relations and the framework of the emerging security architecture," Shoigu said.
