“Our organization consists of independent states. This is inviolable and no one has ever questioned it, but at the same time our organization is a commonwealth. This is what has always allowed us to find compromises and build a common unifying agenda on a whole range of issues of development of our Commonwealth for the benefit of our countries and peoples. A constructive agenda, an agenda that is linked to economic development, to the realization of a whole range of social and humanitarian problems and, of course, to security issues, about which we have also discussed in great detail today.”
