"A new stage of global stability": points for security architecture formation were named at the National Centre RUSSIA

---

The third day of the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues is taking place at the National Centre RUSSIA on May 29. The international dialogue under the chairmanship of Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu is being held from May 27 to 29, 2025.

The forum is attended by 124 high-level delegations from 104 countries that are members of BRICS, the SCO, ASEAN, the CIS, the Arab League, the African Union, the CSTO and other international organisations, as well as 13 secretaries-general and representatives of international organisation leadership. Speakers are voicing their states' views on global security issues and challenges that today require intervention from a number of countries.

The main theme of the plenary session on May 29 is "Forming an Architecture of Equal and Indivisible Security: Challenges and Opportunities for Global South and East States." 

The opinion of Thailand on the situation in international stability, as well as on anticipated problems and opportunities for the state and regions, was voiced by Secretary-General of the National Security Council of the Kingdom of Thailand Mr Bangchuad.

"This meeting will serve as a vital platform for developing dialogue and cooperation between countries. Today, geopolitical dynamics, international conflicts and technological progress are changing the global security architecture, inclining towards a more polarised multipolar world order. These developments not only open new opportunities but also create more complex problems. They require our collective attention and action. Thailand, like other countries, faces diverse security challenges. Growing geopolitical tensions and interstate conflicts continue to hinder global efforts to maintain peace and stability. Thailand is deeply concerned about the escalation of humanitarian crises in such regions and advocates for comprehensive dialogue aimed at their resolution," Mr Bangchuad emphasised. 

Today even small countries bear responsibility in ensuring a stable world and security, noted Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Sierra Leone Mr Lengor. He also expressed gratitude to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, the Government and people of Russia for the invitation to the international dialogue and warm reception in the capital.

"We have gathered in Moscow, a city that is a symbol of courage, a symbol of struggle for security and ensuring stability of our interconnected world at a crossroads. Security is experiencing the impact of both long-standing and new conflicts. We see that information and communication technologies are developing, and it is necessary that they do not cause harm to any country. Cyber threats, terrorism, organised crime, instability caused by climate change, and the proliferation of new types of weapons — all of this requires joint action and coordinated approaches for resolution. The complexity of these challenges requires that we build trust, use multilateral approaches and engage in dialogue. Dialogue must take precedence over any division. Moreover, I believe that we must speak here about collective responsibility," Mr Lengor emphasised.

The Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Sierra Leone added that international meetings of this format are of key importance for addressing the outlined problems. Director of Foreign Intelligence of the Republic of Sudan Mr Bahit agreed with him. 

"This meeting is an excellent initiative put forward by the Russian leadership. And holding this conference is a very important step towards strengthening the fight for security worldwide. We consider the current meeting a real beginning of a new stage in work to strengthen security based on international cooperation. Sudan strives to strengthen international relations. We express our readiness to fight against transnational crime. We believe it is necessary to strengthen stability so that our countries can develop and achieve economic growth. It is necessary to reduce unemployment, poverty and hunger. We must cooperate against organised crime. Many countries of the South and East face terrorist and extremist threats to their security," Mr Bahit said.

On the third day of the International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues, bilateral negotiations also took place between Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu and high security representatives from the UAE, DPRK, and Iran. Additionally, a memorandum of cooperation was signed with Director-General of the Intelligence Service of the Republic of Seychelles Benediste Hoareau.
