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.
The CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov took part in the debate on “UN cooperation with regional organizations: the CSTO, the CIS and the SCO” held on 19 July 2024 at the UN Security Council.
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.

During the meeting, the parties discussed a wide range of issues related to cooperation between the United Nations and the CSTO, which is progressively developing based on the provisions of the regular UN General Assembly Resolution adopted in November 2022. The active participation of the CSTO Secretariat in the international discussion on the “New Agenda for Peace”, an initiative of United Nations Secretary General António Guterres ahead of the “Millennium Summit” scheduled for September 2024, was noted with satisfaction.
A thorough exchange of views was held on the security situation in the various CSTO areas of responsibility.
Miroslav Jenča was also briefed on the systematic work being carried out in the CSTO to integrate the collective peacekeeping potential into the work of the United Nations.
The parties expressed readiness for further productive contacts, including during the forthcoming high-level week “on the margins” of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
