The 17th meeting of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly
09.12.2024
The CSTO Deputy Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov addressed the 17th plenary session of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly.
In his statement, he noted that the politico-military situation continued to undergo a profound transformation. The conflict potential is seriously increasing in a number of regions directly adjacent to the CSTO area of responsibility. There are signs of bilateral conflicts escalating into multilateral ones, with global players becoming increasingly involved.
“At the same time, the emerging new centers of power in the world are asserting themselves. This, in our view, testifies to the demand for the formation of a new multipolar world order based on the principles of genuine equality and justice,” the Deputy Taalatbek Masadykov emphasized.
