Allow me to thank the Russian presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the invitation to take part in the debate on the interaction between the United Nations and regional organizations - the CSTO, the CIS and the SCO.
I highly appreciate my participation in the meeting of the main body of the World Organization responsible for maintaining global peace and international security. I am convinced that today's debate will contribute to the development of new, additional mechanisms for United Nations cooperation with the CSTO, the CIS and the SCO - the leading regional organizations operating in the Eurasian security space.

On August 25, 2022 soldiers of the mountain unit of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia conquered Elbrus, the highest mountain peak in Russia and Europe, and placed the flag of the Collective Security Treaty Organization on its summit.
The responsible and difficult task of climbing the snow-covered peak of Mount Elbrus (5,642 meters) within the "Elbrus Ring" competition of the VIII Army International Games "Army-2022" was successfully completed by teams of mountain units of the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. The honorable mission of installing the CSTO flag was performed by servicemen of the Republic of Armenia, which holds the CSTO presidency in 2022.
The installation of the flag is timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Collective Security Treaty and the 20th anniversary of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
The action is aimed at popularizing the CSTO, demonstrating close allied relations and determination to further develop cooperation to ensure and strengthen it.
