28 April marks the Day of the CSTO Joint Staff. It should be recalled that on 28 April 2003, in Dushanbe, the Collective Security Council, guided by the need to establish a military staff body responsible for implementing the military component of the Collective Security Treaty, adopted the Decision “On the Establishment of the Joint Staff of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.”
On 27 April 2026, within the framework of the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Contours of a New Architecture of Collective Security: Current Issues of Information and Analytical Partnership within the CSTO,” held at MGIMO University of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, a round table entitled “Eurasian Analytical Platform: New Approaches in a New Geopolitical Reality” took place.

Evaluating the ongoing Conference Valery Semerikov noted that recently there have been many conferences, both at the international or regional level, and in individual states. “All of them are devoted to security issues with a bias against terrorism and extremism. Of course, they contribute to the development of the ideology of theory and practice in countering this evil, - said the Acting CSTO Secretary General.
“But I want to note that the Moscow Security Conference is distinguished by the level of its organization, representation and scale of the issues under consideration: from countering a wide range of challenges and threats to peacekeeping activities. It is also distinguished by the practical filling of issues related to the localization of the conflict potential existing in the world” Valery Semerikov stressed.
