Leonid Slutsky: “A distinctive feature of the SCO, BRICS and CSTO is purposeful activity to strengthen regional security and global stability without politicization and interference in the affairs of other countries. After the rapid withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, which, as the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev correctly noted, suffered a fiasco there, the issues of combating international terrorism, crime, and drug trafficking acquire paramount importance.
Unfortunately, in a number of other regional and international organizations, so far they prefer loud words to real deeds, continuing with a manic obsession to blame Moscow for everything in order to prevent the expansion of Russian influence. Russia, on the other hand, is committed exclusively to constructive cooperation with all key players to prevent the growth of global threats. We are not friends against someone and we are not engaged in the formation of a shadow agenda, as Patrushev noted.
Nikolai Platonovich told about all this in an interview with “Arguments and Facts”. This is not just a “question-answer”, but rather a clear and competent analysis of what is happening, not only in Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, but also the impact of these events on Europe and the role of the United States in the processes of destabilization in the world in the name of its own hegemony. I highly recommend reading! “
