Bishkek, Nov. 27, 2025. /Kabar/. The CSTO must strengthen cooperation in cybersecurity, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting of the CSTO Collective Security Council held in Bishkek.
According to him, today's information attacks, threats in the digital space, and new hybrid risks require joint action by member states.
"Every year, new areas emerge within the CSTO. At a closed meeting, I stated that one of the most important areas should be strengthening cooperation in cybersecurity to respond to modern challenges. Because this is truly a major problem," he noted.
The CSTO Collective Security Council meeting was held in Bishkek with the participation of the presidents of the CSTO member states. The Collective Security Treaty Organization is a regional security alliance comprising six countries — Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. The Organization focuses on collective defense, military cooperation, joint exercises, crisis response, and coordinated measures to ensure regional security. The Collective Security Council, which includes the heads of state of the member countries, serves as the CSTO’s highest decision-making body and meets to set strategic priorities and approve key policy directions.
