The Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) will not only work
to raise the effectiveness of its structures, but will also widen
cooperation with other international organisations, Secretary of the
Russian Security Council Igor Ivanov said on Tuesday.
He spoke at a meeting of the committee of Security Council
secretaries of CSTO member states held in the Armenian capital.
According to Ivanov, these organisations will include first of all
the United Nations, Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), NATO and
the European Union.
The Russian Security Council chief also said the meeting participants
discussed the plan of action on priority fields of activity of the
CSTO - fighting against international terrorism, drug trafficking,
illegal migration and various types of extremism.
"These are the problems the CSTO member states and the entire
international community are concerned about," Ivanov said.
Summarising the meeting results, its participants stressed the
organisation has made a transition from political declarations to
concrete work in quite a number of spheres.
For example, in the sphere of military cooperation, military
personnel training and combating drug addiction.
"The CSTO is confidently taking to its feet. It is a serious
organisation, which has won international recognition. We are
positive that its further development meets our common interests,"
Ivanov emphasised.
