Allow me to thank the Russian presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the invitation to take part in the debate on the interaction between the United Nations and regional organizations - the CSTO, the CIS and the SCO.
I highly appreciate my participation in the meeting of the main body of the World Organization responsible for maintaining global peace and international security. I am convinced that today's debate will contribute to the development of new, additional mechanisms for United Nations cooperation with the CSTO, the CIS and the SCO - the leading regional organizations operating in the Eurasian security space.

Imangali Tasmagambetov, the Collective Security Treaty Organization Secretary General, told BELTA news agency correspondent whether the CSTO sought to become a counterweight to NATO, the situation in the East European region of collective security, the role of Belarus in the organization, and what initiative of the President of Belarus had become important and timely for the CSTO.

The relevance of "the round table" is due to the fact that today the development of information and communication technologies and the need to improve the mechanisms for protecting the information space of the CSTO require the consolidation of the efforts of the Organization's member states.
"The round table" participants will discuss topical issues such as the role of social networks in the socio-political process, as well as important legal aspects of the interaction of the CSTO member states in the information sphere: an assessment of the completeness and relevance of the CSTO regulatory framework in the field of information protection and the safe Internet.
Attendees will be presented with reports highlighting such important issues as risks and challenges related to the use of information and communication technologies as a tool for destructive impact on the CSTO, including the promotion of terrorism and extremism; harmonization of the national legislations of the CSTO member states in the field of countering threats to information sovereignty; digitalization of foreign policy activities, expanding the presence of the state in social networks as the potential for a positive impact on target audiences, especially young people; modern processes occurring in the information space, necessitating the development of constructive cooperation between providers and regulatory structures in the interests of creating a reliable state-private partnership system on the Internet.
As expected, a resolution will be adopted at the end of "the round table" meeting.
