Lukashenko lauds growing role of CIS Anti-Terrorism Center

“Time has confirmed the wisdom of the decision made a quarter-century ago to establish a strong and effective structure to protect CIS countries from various terrorist threats. Thanks to the dedicated and meticulous work and high professionalism of the center’s current staff and veterans, unified approaches and effective mechanisms for cooperation among competent authorities and special services of CIS states have been developed over the years,” the message reads.

 

Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed that today there are ample opportunities to strengthen the common expert, scientific, and analytical potential, as well as to further intensify information exchange and consolidate joint efforts to maintain peace and security across the CIS region.

 

“I am convinced that in a world of increasing geopolitical instability and emerging hybrid threats, the significance and role of the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center will only continue to grow,” the president emphasized.

 

He wished the center’s leadership and staff good health, well-being, boundless energy, new professional success and fruitful cooperation for the benefit of the CIS countries and their peoples.
