The Collective Security Treaty Organization Secretary General Stanislav Zas, addressed the Conference. He noted that the CSTO actively supported international initiatives to strengthen border security to combat terrorism by stemming the flow of foreign terrorist fighters across borders.
"We are pleased with the development of our cooperation in this area with the UN Counter-Terrorism Office, the UN Counter-Terrorism Center, and the UN Preventive Diplomacy Center for Central Asia under the Border Security and Management Program and the "Towards a Joint Action Plan" project, carried out in accordance with the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in Central Asia," Stanislav Zas said in his statement.
According to him, by expanding interaction and information exchange, the CSTO sees the potential to develop cooperation between the Organization and the SCO Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure, the Anti-Terrorist Center of the CIS member states and the Council of Border Guard Commanders in order to collectively counter terrorist threats in Central Asia.
"I would like to take this opportunity to note that in order to counter terrorist threats, the CSTO has formed and continues to improve a system of collective security, including military and special operational and preventive measures and mechanisms. In the course of joint trainings and operations, the readiness of the Collective Rapid Reaction Forces, as well as special structures of the CSTO member states to act as intended, is tested," the CSTO Secretary General said.
He stressed that consolidation of efforts to ensure collective security was a paramount task for the CSTO. "At the same time, noting the dramatically changed situation in Afghanistan, which has led to potential border problems, we clearly understand that the security of the region as a whole depends on preventing terrorists from crossing borders," Stanislav Zas, speaking at the conference, said.
