Vladimir Putin announced new decisions on the development of the CSTO collective forces.
At the summit in Moscow, additional steps will be determined to strengthen the organization's troops. In particular, we are talking about the development of the aviation component and the creation of mobile air defense units.
"Methodical work continues to equip the collective forces of the CSTO with modern weapons and equipment," Vladimir Putin said at the extended format meeting.
He also noted that the countries of the organization pay a lot of attention to the situation in Afghanistan, and the interaction of law enforcement agencies helps to fight terrorism and extremism.
Putin emphasized that the final draft statement reflects the common approaches of the CSTO countries to the situation in the world and in the region.
