On May 18 Minsk hosts a regular session of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly Council

On the eve of the session, heads of parliaments of the Organization’s Member States visited the Museum of the Great Patriotic War History. Today, participants of the Council session met with Aleksandr Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus and Chairman of the Collective Security Council (CSC).

In his welcoming address the head of the Republic recalled that the parliamentarians are his colleagues, as he himself worked in the Parliament for a long time.

President of Belarus stressed that while presiding over the CSTO in 2023 his country attaches particular importance to the parliamentary dimension as an integral part of the Organization’s success.

Mr Lukashenko named the approximation and harmonization of national legislations the CSTO’s main task.

“There are no complaints here regarding our Parliamentary Assembly. You have proposed many model laws to the national parliaments; some of them Belarus and other states gladly use,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

As you may recall, May 18 is the main day of the CSTO PA Council session in Minsk.
