01.11.2019"Sputnik Uzbekistan": October 31. The CSTO did not wait for a response from the Alliance to the proposal to strengthen trust between organizations and to cooperate in the fight against world terrorism.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has not yet received an official response from NATO to a proposal made in May, 2019, on cooperation to build confidence and jointly fight terrorism, said the organization’s Acting Secretary General Valery Semerikov at the International Conference "On the role and the nature of the interaction of international and regional organizations in the fight against international terrorism ”, that held on October 30 in Moscow at the GlavUpDK Cultural Center.
At the same time, in the comments, various interviews, and speeches of NATO officials various judgments are made. But it all comes down to the fact that they do not see the point in strengthening such ties, the CSTO believes.
