Kairat Sarybay, Executive Director of the Secretariat of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), warns that the erosion of security architecture has led to a large-scale crisis [e6ace16a]. Speaking at the high-level conference 'Eurasian Security: Reality and Prospects in a Transforming World' in Minsk, Sarybay highlights the persistence of conflict hotbeds in various regions, including the European part of Eurasia, the Middle East, and South and East Asia [e6ace16a]. The crisis of trust between the actors involved in these processes further complicates the search for solutions [e6ace16a].
Muhammad Hassan Shaykh al-Islami, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and President of the Institute for Political and International Studies at the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called for a revision of the Eurasian security concept at the same conference [7f5fe0a1]. Al-Islami emphasized the importance of understanding the changing world and the need to build a new world order based on multilateralism. He also highlighted the need for a comprehensive security model that includes economic agenda, food security, energy sector cooperation, poverty eradication, and the fight against terrorism. Al-Islami criticized militarization, unilateralism, and interference from third-party actors as undermining security and leading to destructive competition and tensions [7f5fe0a1].
The erosion of security architecture and the resulting crisis have significant implications for global stability and security. It underscores the urgent need for international cooperation and the restoration of trust among nations. Addressing the root causes of conflict and finding sustainable solutions are crucial to preventing further escalation and promoting peace and stability worldwide. The call to reconsider the Eurasian security concept highlights the importance of understanding the changing dynamics of the world and the need for a comprehensive approach to security that goes beyond military considerations [e6ace16a][7f5fe0a1].
