The CSTO Deputy Secretary General Valery Semerikov took part in the tenth meeting of Secretaries of the CIS Security Councils, which was held in Moscow.
In his welcoming speech Valery Semerikov stated that the current period was a serious test of strength for the Commonwealth countries. He named the actions of Western states aimed at destabilizing the military and political situation in the CSTO member states as one of the serious security threats.
According to the CSTO Deputy Secretary General, at the same time, the need to counter such traditional challenges and threats to security as terrorism, drug trafficking, illegal migration, and the use of telecommunications for criminal purposes remains urgent.
In modern conditions, ensuring biological security of the CSTO member states becomes an important task. In this regard, Valery Semerikov informed about the planned approval of the composition of the CSTO Biosafety Coordinating Council during its regular meeting on November 23 this year and readiness to organize its practical work.
The Deputy Secretary General of the Organization stressed the need to further expand CSTO international ties in the interests of strengthening peace and stability. He spoke in favor of closer cooperation with the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, including, potentially, as partners and observers of these regional associations to the CSTO.
