The Collective Security Treaty Organization stated that confronting cross-border threats and reinforcing the Tajik-Afghan border remain its primary priorities for regional stability.

Speaking at a meeting in Moscow, CSTO Secretary General Taalatbek Masadykov emphasized that long-term stability in Afghanistan is deeply tied to the sustained security and economic development of Central Asia.

Masadykov pointed out that bilateral engagements between certain CSTO member states and the Taliban government have grown increasingly active in recent months.

He noted that delivering humanitarian and economic assistance to the people of Afghanistan contributes significantly to the country's broader socio-economic recovery.

According to Masadykov, the CSTO Secretariat continues to coordinate these diplomatic and aid initiatives within the specialized framework of its Afghan Working Group.

Nevertheless, the Secretary General underscored that addressing transboundary security risks remains an urgent strategic focus for the alliance.

He reaffirmed that executing the targeted intergovernmental program to reinforce Tajikistan's border with Afghanistan is a foundational mission actively pursued by all member states.
