CSTO Official Says Bloc Favors Resuming Cooperation With OSCE
A representative of the Collective Security Treaty Organization said the bloc supports renewing engagement with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, citing the OSCE's potential to strengthen European security.
A senior official of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) said the bloc favors resuming cooperation with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Taalatbek Masadykov, cited by TASS, said the OSCE "has considerable potential that could be used to fulfill its original purpose of strengthening security in Europe."
The CSTO is a security alliance comprising Russia and several other post-Soviet states, while the OSCE is a multilateral organization focused on conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation across Europe, Central Asia and North America.
TASS did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the specific format or timeline for renewed cooperation between the two organizations, nor did it specify the current state of relations between the CSTO and the OSCE.
The statement was reported by TASS, a Russian state-run news agency.
