«Last year the Kyrgyz Republic chaired the CIS bodies. Successful holding was noted during the meetings of all statutory bodies of the Commonwealth,» he noted, stressing that the main emphasis in the work within the framework of the chairmanship is focused on strengthening confidence and security in the region.
Addressing the representatives of security agencies and special services of the states, the President emphasized that the Council of the Heads of Special Services is one of the important structures for combating the extremist-terrorist threat, which becomes more and more widespread. The ongoing changes in the world, characterized by growing uncertainty, turbulence and conflict, as well as the recent tragic events of March 22 this year in the Crocus City Hall with numerous human casualties have once again demonstrated the need to strengthen the role of the special services, improve their work and joint efforts to ensure the security of countries.
The head of state expressed confidence that the results of the 54th meeting of the Council would create the necessary conditions for further strengthening and deepening of joint cooperation.
