Putin called on the CSTO countries to increase coordination of efforts.
The countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) have gained significant experience in cooperation, but given international tensions, it is necessary to increase the coordination of efforts to solve the problems facing the CSTO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this in his speech to the participants of the International Forum for Collective Security. The message of the head of state was read by Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk.
"The CSTO member states have gained significant experience in constructive cooperation. At the same time, it is clear that in light of the ongoing international tensions, it is important to fundamentally increase the organization's potential and coordinate efforts to solve the problems it faces, especially in the field of defense, counter-terrorism and extremism, the fight against illegal drug trafficking and cyber-trafficking.
The President of the Russian Federation clarified that he met representatives of government agencies, military departments and enterprises of the military-industrial complex, scientists and experts. "During the plenary session and the round tables, you will have to assess the impact of modern challenges on the geopolitical situation in Eurasia, discuss measures to strengthen regional security and stability," the Russian leader noted.
He expressed confidence that the forum will be held in a constructive atmosphere, and the proposals and initiatives presented at the event will be sought in practical work for the benefit of the peoples of the CSTO member states.
