The 93rd meeting of the Council of Commanders of Border Troops of the CIS countries was held in Astana. Representatives of nine CIS member states, as well as international organizations, took part in the meeting. The main topics included strengthening the security of external borders and countering terrorism, extremism and transnational crime. Participants also discussed ways to enhance cooperation in response to emerging security challenges. Particular attention was paid to automating information exchange between border agencies and improving the effectiveness of joint operations. Participants stressed that over the years, the Council of Commanders has become an important mechanism for ensuring regional stability. Next year, the organization will mark the 35th anniversary of its establishment.
«It is symbolic that our cooperation coincides with two significant anniversaries. This year, the Commonwealth of Independent States marks its 35th anniversary, an important milestone that demonstrates the viability and continued relevance of multilateral cooperation in the post-Soviet space. In 2027, the Council of Commanders of Border Troops will also mark its 35th anniversary, highlighting the value of decades of joint efforts. These two anniversaries reflect a strong sense of continuity. The Council was established to build on the fundamental principles of cooperation and has since become an integral part of the CIS security architecture,» said Nurlan Seitimov, Deputy Secretary-General of the CIS Executive Committee.
