He noted that the situation along almost the entire perimeter of the borders of the CSTO countries remains difficult.
The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization Stanislav Zas said that if the security situation on the border with Afghanistan aggravates, "the member states will provide assistance to Tajikistan". He stated this at a joint meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Council of Defense Ministers and the Committee of Secretaries of CSTO Security Councils in Dushanbe on September 15.
The CSTO Secretary General said following the meeting that the coordination of the CSTO member states in foreign policy matters was substantively discussed there.
He noted that the situation along almost the entire perimeter of the borders of the CSTO member states remains difficult: “The situation in Afghanistan is especially worrisome”.
Participants of the joint meeting discussed the state of affairs on the Tajik-Afghan border.
"Today the situation there is unfavorable, but Tajik border guards and law enforcement agencies fully control the borders of the country. Therefore, all the CSTO member states are unanimous and once again reaffirmed a common position: in the event of an aggravation of the situation on the southern borders of the CSTO, Tajikistan will be provided with all the necessary military and military-technical assistance", – CSTO Secretary General told reporters.
