Addressing the forum participants, A.Sultanov stressed that despite the tangible losses in Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State, Al-Qaida and the associated armed terrorist groups still pose a serious threat.

At the same time, he highlighted the development of projects of the CSTO Target Interstate Program on Strengthening the Tajik-Afghan Border Sites and the List of Additional Measures Aimed at Reducing Tension in the Tajik-Afghan Frontier.
