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. During the event, Head of the Information and Public Relations Department of the CSTO Secretariat Yuriy Shuvalov delivered a presentation on “The Eurasian Analytical Network: A New Cognitive Architecture of Collective Security.”
These days the main efforts in cooperation of the CSTO and the UN in the peacekeeping sphere are aimed at using the potential of police units and units to serve in UN peacekeeping and special political missions.

On April 24, 2019, on the VIII Moscow Conference on International Security (Moscow), a working meeting was held between the Acting CSTO Secretary General Valery Semerikov and the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, the Head of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix.
Deputy Secretary General of the CSTO Piotr Tsikhanouski, the Head of the Military Affairs Department of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations of the UN Secretariat, as well as other UN representatives and the CSTO Secretariat also took part in the working meeting.
An exchange of views took place on possible ways of implementing "The Road Map" for embedding CSTO peacekeeping resources in the UN global efforts in the field of international peacekeeping. The parties reaffirmed the desirability of concentrating the main efforts on using the potential of police units and units to serve in UN peacekeeping and special political missions.
One of the important results of the meeting is a confirmation of mutual interest in long-term cooperation with the UN in a number of key areas, including primarily the use of peacekeeping potential in global anti-crisis activities.
