The Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Taalatbek Masadykov, in an interview published on the "Allies. CSTO" portal, reported a significant deepening of cooperation between the CSTO and the United Nations (UN). As reported by RIA Novosti, he emphasized that both organizations are intensifying their interaction to enhance regional and global security.
“The United Nations remains our key partner,” Masadykov stated. He noted that the cooperation covers many important areas, such as conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping operations, as well as the fight against terrorism and extremism, including issues of international information security.
According to the Secretary General, the CSTO has established itself as an effective structure that contributes to regional stability and has been an important part of the global security system for many years. He emphasized that interaction with other international organizations has become one of the key areas of the CSTO's work in the context of the formation of a new security architecture in Eurasia.
“We observe that regional structures and states with developing economies are becoming increasingly active in addressing their regional issues, using the experience and tools of the UN system,” Masadykov added. He expressed hope that in 2026, the UN General Assembly will adopt a new resolution on cooperation between the CSTO and the UN, which is approved every two years.
