Dear Sergey Kuzhugetovich!
Dear Secretaries of the Security Councils!
On behalf of the Secretariat of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, I welcome the organizers and participants of the thirteenth meeting of the secretaries of the security councils of the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
On October 31, 2025, in Astana, the CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov met with the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
During his visit to the Republic of Tajikistan, the Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Imangali Tasmagambetov was received by the President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon.
On October 29, 2025, a working session on “Prospects for collective security in Eurasia: The CSTO area of responsibility as a space for dialogue” was held in the Belarusian capital as part of the III Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security. It was attended by representatives of expert communities from the CSTO member states, Uzbekistan, India, Vietnam, and a number of other countries.
Condolences of the CSTO Secretariat for the victims of clashes on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
19.09.2022The leadership and staff of the CSTO Secretariat were saddened by the news of the victims of the clashes that took place on the border between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan between 14 and 17 September. We sincerely condole with the peoples of the two brotherly countries in connection with the tragedy that befell them.
The Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan play an important role in collective security, making a great contribution to peace and stability in the CSTO area of responsibility, so a constructive dialogue between Bishkek and Dushanbe is necessary not only for these two countries, but also for all member states of the Organization.
We consider unacceptable any attempts to use force to resolve contentious issues and are convinced that there is no alternative to political and diplomatic approaches. The CSTO is ready to step up its mediation efforts in every way possible to achieve a sustainable compromise.
