Cooperation between the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) could help the two blocs more effectively combat terrorism, CIS Deputy Secretary General Nurlan Seitimov said, according to TASS.
Seitimov emphasized that the list of modern security threats was constantly expanding, the report said, though TASS did not detail which specific threats he referenced beyond terrorism.
The remarks point to continued efforts by regional organizations across the former Soviet space and Eurasia to coordinate security policy, an area where the CIS and SCO have periodically sought to align their approaches given overlapping membership and shared security concerns in Central Asia and beyond.
TASS did not report further specifics on any concrete joint initiatives or agreements arising from Seitimov's remarks, nor the setting in which they were made.
