CIS Anti-Terrorist Center suggests SCO to organize joint anti-terrorist doctrines

"The anti-terrorist center has been working closely with the SCO and its regional anti-terrorist structure since 2006. We exchange information on combating terrorism, extremism and separatism," he said. According to Novikov, during the meeting with the Director of the SCO RCTS Executive Committee Zhang Xinfeng on several key issues, the parties have found a common understanding including the need to enhance cooperation in the field of joint activities to trace the persons involved in terrorist activities and put them on the international wanted list. "CIS Anti-Terrorist Center and EC SCO RCTS have ample opportunities for joint activities in the so -called "Sanctions" UN lists for a number of international terrorist organizations. The issue of tracing terrorists in observer states of the SCO is very important which will strengthen the effectiveness of the fight against terrorism on a global scale", he added. "In order to better prepare anti-terrorism training, coordination of competent departments and law enforcement agencies of the CIS and the SCO, it is necessary to conduct joint anti-terrorism exercises with the strategic use of information and global positioning systems", Novikov said.
