Russia and Belarus Seal 2026 Diplomatic Plan at Moscow Collegium Meeting

The move locks in year-round coordination against unilateral sanctions to advance a shared multipolar security blueprint.

Overview

Foreign ministers Sergey Lavrov and Maxim Ryzhenkov coordinated positions on global issues and pledged mutual allied support.
The signed documents set a 2026 schedule for inter‑ministerial consultations and task joint work on humanitarian tools, traditional values, historical memory, and foreign‑policy information support.
Implementation of the Union State Treaty on Security Guarantees continues under special representatives following a first interagency review held in Moscow on September 26.
The partners are advancing international legal efforts against unilateral coercive measures, including the new UN International Day to be observed on December 4.
They cited deeper coordination across CSTO, EAEU, CIS, SCO, BRICS, and the UN, noting SCO observer status with the CIS, a new “CIS Plus” format, and a CSTO‑CIS‑SCO roadmap, with the next collegium slated for the fourth quarter of 2026.
