On 22 April 2024, the CSTO Secretariat hosted a working meeting between the Deputy Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Samat Ordabaev, and the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Central Asia, Head of the UN Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia (UNRCCA), Kakha Imnadze.
From 22 to 26 April, this year, the CSTO Secretariat is holding an annual training meeting for representatives of ministries and departments of the Collective Security Treaty Organization member states without military status.
The meeting was held in the city of Moscow under the chairmanship of Viktor Zinoviev, Secretary of the CSTO Interstate Commission on Military-Economic Cooperation (ICMEC, Commission).
In the CSTO Secretariat commented on the decision of the President of the Russian Federation on the withdrawal of the group of Russian troops from Syria
11.12.2017They note the decisive contribution of the Russian Federation to eliminating the hotbeds of international terrorism, which created the conditions for ending the civil war and achieving a long-term political settlement in the SAR, and highly appreciate the contribution of the Republic of Kazakhstan to resolving the situation in Syria by providing a platform for international meetings in Astana.
The CSTO is not a party to the operation in Syria. At the same time, we proceed from the fact that the decision of the President of the Russian Federation V.Putin on the withdrawal of the Russian troops was thoughtful, and says that the grouping of the Russian troops completed all the tasks set in the Syrian Arab Republic.
The CSTO Secretariat stresses the need to intensify and give a truly comprehensive inter-Syrian dialogue, aimed at consolidating all the ethno-confessional and political components of Syrian society, its traditional institutions, connecting ordinary Syrians to efforts to establish normal political life in the country, defining the contours of the state structure for post-conflict period and long term.
