On December 12, 2017, the CSTO Secretariat held a meeting of the Deputy Secretary General of the CSTO, Valery Semerikov, with the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Director of the Department of UN Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix.
Relying on the positive experience of joint work, the interlocutors focused on consideration of issues related to the prospect of using the peacekeeping resources available to the CSTO today in various UN missions: on the implementation of the Road Map developed for these purposes, on the creation of a permanent contingent of the CSTO peacekeeping forces as well as on the participation of UN representatives in the annual CSTO peacekeeping exercises “The Indestructible Brotherhood”.
Valery Semerikov stressed that the CSTO has always advocated and stands for strengthening the leading, central role of the UN in international affairs, for enhancing its role in conflict resolution, including international peacemaking.
Therefore, building up cooperation with the UN on peacekeeping issues is one of the key targets of the CSTO for the long term, enshrined in the Strategy of our Organization, which was endorsed by the presidents of the CSTO member states last year.
In turn, Jean-Pierre Lacroix stressed that, in his position as UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping, he would do everything possible to bring the relationship between the UN and the CSTO to a new qualitative level, ensuring the continuity of the partnership established in recent years between the CSTO Secretariat and the Department of Operations UN peacekeeping.
Valery Semerikov invited Mr. LC. Lacroix to take part in the next exercise with the CSTO Peacekeeping Forces "Indestructible Brotherhood - 2018", which is planned to be held next year in the territory of the Russian Federation. The invitation was gratefully accepted.
The meeting was held in an atmosphere of underlined mutual understanding and readiness for further cooperation.
