The CSTO decided to develop an agreement on cooperation in the field of biosafety.
A suitable proposal was put forward by Vladimir Putin, and in doing so he was supported by colleagues from other countries.
"We are all interested in responding quickly to threats of this type. We have a large volume of contacts with all the countries of the world. They seem to be prosperous countries, but even there problems arise. I think we are all interested in a quick and effective joint response," Russian Putin said.
