Middle East 'increasingly unstable,' CSTO must enhance potential -- Russian envoy
The Middle Eastern region is increasingly unstable, and amid current crises, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) must strengthen its potential, Viktor Vasilyev, Russia's permanent representative to the organization, said.
"The current global environment is filled with various crises of varying intensity. The Middle East is becoming increasingly unstable," he pointed out in an interview with the "Allies. CSTO" media outlet.
According to Vasilyev, under current conditions, the CSTO must "strengthen its own potential in order to withstand current and potential challenges in its responsibility zone."
The Russian envoy also highlighted the growing militarization of the Asia-Pacific region, "where Washington and its satellites are creating new confrontational structures, clearly anti-Chinese and anti-Russian."
"The CSTO's activity is carried out amid the deterioration of the regional and global situation and, essentially, a crisis in foreign relations. When key players effectively rejected the universal norms of international law, the security threshold went down, the practice of resolving issues by force intensified, while the prospects of settling them are rather cloudy," he added. "Many dormant conflicts have turned into a hot phase while sub-regional problems morphed into regional conflicts, frequently directed from abroad with the engagement of so-called proxy actors," the diplomat explained.
