Putin highlights CIS unity on terrorism and corruption
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently spoke at a meeting with leaders from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
He talked about how these countries work together to fight terrorism, drug trafficking, and corruption.
Putin mentioned that there are specific plans in place, like an anti-terrorism plan until 2028 and a border control plan until 2030.
This cooperation is important because Russia is facing difficulties with many European countries due to the war in Ukraine.
By focusing on these shared goals, Putin wants to show that the CIS countries are strong and united, even when other parts of the world are not getting along with Russia.
Putin emphasized close security cooperation among CIS countries at an informal summit in St. Petersburg.
Key areas of cooperation include terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption, and organized crime.
Action plans such as an anti-terrorism plan until 2028 and a border control plan until 2030 are being implemented.
Russia is facing diplomatic isolation from Europe due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Highlighting CIS unity is seen as a way for Russia to project stability and influence in its immediate neighborhood.
