    Bishkek

    Experts from regional and international security organizations will
    take part on Tuesday in an international conference on efforts to fight
    terrorism and extremism due to open in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek.

    "The forum will take place in line with a cooperation program of
    CIS member states in the fight against terrorism and other violent
    manifestations of extremism for 2008-2010," a Kyrgyz Foreign Ministry
    spokeswoman said.

    She said the meeting will involve delegations from the post-Soviet
    Commonwealth of Independent States, as well as representatives from
    the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Shanghai
    Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the Organization for Security and
    Cooperation in Europe.

    The experts will touch upon urgent problems in countering terrorist
    threats and displays of extremism and discuss enhancing coordination
    between regional and international organizations.

    The conference will also gather on Wednesday.

    The CSTO comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
    Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

    Russia's security strategy until 2020 approved by President Dmitry
    Medvedev envisions the CSTO as "a key mechanism to counter regional
    military challenges and threats."

    The SCO regional security group comprises Russia, China, Kazakhstan,
    Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. Iran, India, Mongolia and
    Pakistan have observer status.
