On 1 September 2023, the CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov, who is on a working visit to the Republic of Belarus, took part in the opening of the joint operational-strategic trainings of the CSTO Troops (Collective Forces) "Combat Brotherhood-2023".
Addressing the training participants, the CSTO Secretary General noted the complex international situation against the backdrop of the trainings.
"New sources of tension are emerging in various regions of the world and old conflicts are escalating. Modern crises are increasingly hybrid in nature and require special approaches to their resolution.
The peculiarity of these trainings is their comprehensiveness. Today, the use of a military component is not sufficient for the successful conduct of an operation. A systematic approach is needed, involving close cooperation and collaboration between a whole range of forces and means.
New challenges and security threats have largely determined the format of the upcoming event," the CSTO Secretary General said.
Concluding his speech, Imangali Tasmagambetov expressed his confidence that the strengthening of the Collective Rapid Reaction Forces was the most important condition for protecting the vital security interests of the Organization's member states and for building a system of unified and indivisible security at the region.
