Kirill Babiev proposed to create a permanent expert format under the CSTO.
Modern security threats go far beyond inter-state and intra-state conflicts, therefore their prevention requires a comprehensive and inclusive system of international interaction. This is what the director of the ICSA RAS, Kirill Babeev, said at the meeting "CSTO: new challenges and prospects for regional development" within the framework of the International Forum for Collective Security.
According to Babaev, the CSTO can become the basis for the formation of a new architecture of international security in the Eurasian space, but in order to solve a set of problems, including those related to technological security, food and water, there is a need for close interaction and trust between many structures of the interested countries.
Kirill Babiev paid special attention to the development of the cooperation of experts within the CSTO. He suggested creating a permanent format within the organization that would unite the leading analytical institutions of all member states. His mission will be to develop new ideas and approaches for interaction in the Eurasian space.
According to the director of ICSA RAS, within this format it is possible to interact with expert platforms of other international organizations. ICSA RAS already has experience working on the "second track" within the SCO, BRICS, CICA and other international associations and is ready to assist in the creation of a new expert structure within the CSTO.
