In his greeting, the CSTO Secretary General, Yuri Khachaturov, said:

"Today we celebrate two significant dates - the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Collective Security Treaty and the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which today includes the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation and The Republic of Tajikistan.

A quarter of a century ago, a historic act was signed, declaring the readiness of our states to unite their efforts in strengthening peace, international and regional security and stability, and protecting collectively their independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty.

The collective security system that was subsequently formed in the format of the Organization consists of mutually complementary instruments of political and military cooperation, and mechanisms for counteracting contemporary challenges and threats. The accumulated experience of collective action has allowed the CSTO to become an effective multi-functional regional international organization, one of the authoritative collective institutions in the Eurasian strategic space, said Yuri Khachaturov.

He stressed that in an extremely complex military-political situation, the most important direction of joint activities of the Organization's member states is to strengthen military security. "The guaranteed protection of the Organization’s member states from military threats is ensured by the effective defense capabilities of the CSTO. It is based on: national armed forces; CSTO Troops (Collective Forces), which include coalition and regional military groups; and Peacekeeping Forces," the General Secretary of the Organization.

Yuri Khachaturov stressed that, within the framework of the priority political cooperation for the CSTO, member states are effectively coordinated on the foreign policy track, as evidenced by the adoption of several dozens of joint statements on topical issues on the international agenda at various levels. Cooperation has been established and is developing on topics of mutual interest with such regional and international organizations as the UN, OSCE, CIS, SCO and their specialized institutions.
