During a recent press conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized ASEAN's openness to discussing President Putin's initiative for a unified security system in Eurasia, countering Western efforts to contain Russia and China. He expressed concerns over Western military activities in the Taiwan Strait, warning that they undermine the 'one China' principle. In the context of Sino-Russian relations, historical territorial disputes linger as China seeks to reclaim lands lost to Russia in the past. Meanwhile, Belarus has officially joined the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, enhancing its strategic ties in Eurasia and solidifying its alignment with Russia. The growing China-Russia axis is expanding into Europe, with military cooperation between Belarus and China indicating a strengthening of anti-Western sentiments among these nations. This bloc, including Iran and North Korea, presents a united front against the US and its allies, driven by shared authoritarian governance and geopolitical ambitions.
