Union Foreign Affairs Minister U Than Swe speaks of the third Minsk International Conference on Eurosian Security, held in Belarus on 28-29 October 2025.
Union Minister for Foreign Affairs U Than Swe addressed the Third Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, being held in Minsk of Belarus, from 28 to 29 October.
In his speech, the Union Minister stated that the world is now transitioning into a multipolar system, while countries from Asia, Africa, and the Eurasian region are playing increasingly active roles in shaping global affairs. Myanmar views these transformations as valuable opportunities to build and cooperate toward a stable global order based on mutual respect and equality.
The emerging world order aligns with Myanmar’s independent, active, and non-aligned foreign policy and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, including mutual respect and peaceful cooperation. He also noted that in today’s interconnected world, security challenges transcend national borders. In the era of globalization, international peace and security face both traditional and non-traditional threats, and non-traditional security challenges have become equally important. Cross-border terrorism stems largely from such non-traditional security issues.
The Union Minister also highlighted the illegal drug cases in Golden Triangle areas that the entire regional countries, including Myanmar, are facing, close cooperation with China and Thailand in combating telecom fraud, detention of 67,751 foreigners from 52 countries involved in online scams and repatriation to their respective countries during the two-year term of government.
He stated that in such circumstances, the Minsk Eurasian Security Conference serve as an invaluable platform for building trust and engaging in dialogue among countries in the Eurasian region. Myanmar welcomes the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity, and also attended the Eurasian Economic Forum and the Minsk International Conference. Such participation contributed to collaboration in mutual understanding, regional stability, and peace and prosperity across the Eurasian region.
He continued that the country is preparing to hold the general election on 28 December and peacefully settle the armed conflicts through dialogue and negotiation.
The first Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security was held in 2023, followed by the second in 2024 and the third in 2025, all themed “Global (Dis)Order and the Eurasian Security Puzzle”.
The conference was attended by delegations from over 40 states and seven international organizations. Among the participants are ministers of foreign affairs, heads of integration associations, and representatives of parliaments, research institutes, and think tanks from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. — MNA/KTZH
