«The competent authorities of the SCO countries ensured the exchange of information on the activities of the Islamic State, Jabhat Al-Nusra, Hizb ut-Tahrir, and the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. Special attention is paid to the challenges and threats emanating from people traveling to regions with heightened terrorist activity and returning to the SCO countries. In recent years, a large number of terrorist attacks in the organization’s countries have been prevented,» said Asylbek Kozhobekov.
