NUR-SULTAN. Sept 16 (Interfax) - Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has urged the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) to coordinate their actions in the course of interaction with the new Afghan authorities.
"I propose that we take concrete measures toward coordinating actions and the provision of interaction in relations with the new Afghan authorities," the Kazakh presidential press service quoted Tokayev as saying at a session of the CSTO Collective Security Council in Dushanbe on Thursday.
"Our obvious priority is to achieve the fulfillment of the new Afghan authorities' promise to prevent the terrorist threat from spilling over into neighboring countries and regions. The same applies to drug trafficking and illegal immigration, the suppression of which requires the collective will of all engaged parties," Tokayev said.
