The CSTO summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, led to a decision to reinforce the Tajik-Afghan border. The resolution, which supports the “CSTO Targeted Programme on Strengthening the Tajik-Afghan Border,” was signed by the leaders of CSTO member states, including Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Tajikistan.
This resolution is part of a broader effort to address regional security challenges. The summit resulted in the signing of 14 key documents that focused on various aspects of international and regional security, highlighting the ongoing need for cooperation among CSTO members.
The summit also assessed the activities of the CSTO during the intersessional period, reviewing its role in maintaining peace and stability across member states. The discussions aimed to ensure that the organization remains effective in addressing emerging security threats.
In addition to security matters, the summit noted the upcoming change in CSTO leadership. In 2025, Kyrgyzstan will take over the chairmanship from Kazakhstan, which will bring new dynamics to the organization.
The decision to strengthen the Tajik-Afghan border is a significant step in bolstering the region’s security. The CSTO’s collective approach aims to improve border security and enhance regional cooperation in the face of ongoing security challenges.
