Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, warned that growing threats in Eurasia, including challenges linked to Afghanistan and ongoing crises in the Middle East, are contributing to rising security risks across Central Asia and the Caucasus.
Speaking at a session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, a Russia-led security alliance, Lavrov said that developments around Afghanistan, combined with tensions in the Persian Gulf, were affecting the broader region, including the Caspian basin.
