CSTO summit kicks off in Kyrgyzstan
CHOLPON-ATA. July 31. KAZINFORM /Vladimir Dobrovolsky/ Informal summit of the Heads of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states has started its work in Kyrgyzstan today.
President of the Kyrgyz Republic Kurmanbek Bakiyev opened the summit with a welcome address. The Head of Kyrgyzstan noted that one of the reasons of holding the summit is the situation in the CSTO responsibility zone that he characterized as uneasy. As an example he stressed the fact that two militant groups were liquidated and 18 people arrested for connection with the international terrorism in Kyrgyzstan.
Chairman of the CSTO Executive Committee Nikolai Bordyuzha noted that one of the main issues of the summit is development of common approaches on coordinated informational policy within the Organization.
