I am pleased to welcome you to Moscow for the 14th meeting of the Secretaries of the Security Councils of the CIS countries.
As usual, you will hold in-depth discussions on a wide range of security issues and exchange views on the measures that will best protect our citizens from external and internal threats.
Today, with the complex geopolitical situation and the increasing conflicts in several regions of the world, it is important to fully utilize the considerable analytical and predictive capacity of your councils to strengthen the security and sovereignty of the # Commonwealth of Nations and maintain stability throughout the Commonwealth of Nations.
This requires a thorough and objective assessment of developments and closer cooperation to face the challenges we face together.
I am sure that your meeting will be productive and that the suggestions and recommendations you have made will help expand our cooperation across a variety of fields.
I wish you a fruitful meeting and all the best.
Vladimir Putin
