“By holding the CSTO summit on November 28, 2019, the Kyrgyz Republic is completing its chairmanship of the Organization,” said the Secretary of the Security Council of the Kyrgyz Republic Damir Sagynbaev today, November 25, at a press conference in Bishkek.

“By analyzing current challenges and threats, the CSTO has formed a consensus that Afghanistan remains the main focus of instability. Threats remain from the activities of international terrorist and religious extremist organizations.

In the format of the Organization, there is further close coordination and the search for mutually acceptable decisions to improve and strengthen the CSTO’s potential, measures are being planned and implemented to counter modern challenges and threats, steps are being taken to reduce tensions in the Tajik-Afghan border. In order to respond to crisis situations in a timely manner, work is underway to establish a constant and operational exchange of information between the CSTO member states, ”said Damir Sagynbaev.
