“Times are changing, relations between OSCE member states are facing important geopolitical tests,” OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of Malta, Ian Borg said in his opening speech at the 31st meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), APA reports.
He added that official Valletta supports the resolution of differences between countries of the world through peace and mutual dialogue.
The OSCE Chairman-in-Office also touched on the Russia-Ukraine war and the threat it poses to the region:
“Malta's chairmanship of the OSCE comes at a time of crisis, both for the organization and globally. This is one of a series of meetings held since Russia's military intervention in Ukraine in 2022. The Russia-Ukraine war has created a systematic threat to European security. I stated in my previous speech that the steps we take today to achieve peace will be counted for our tomorrow. Tomorrow has already arrived, but little has changed in the matter of ensuring peace in Europe. The security threats to the OSCE and its surroundings are complex. The current situation is not new to the OSCE, and rest assured that it will not stabilize without us seeing countermeasures."
