MINSK, 19 August (BelTA) – CIS Secretary General Sergei Lebedev has announced the tentative agenda of the upcoming meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council in Dushanbe to journalists, BelTA reports.
Minsk played host to a regular meeting of the CIS Council of Permanent Plenipotentiary Representative on 19 August. During the meeting, the permanent representatives reviewed the draft agendas of the upcoming sessions of the CIS Ministerial Council, the Heads of Government Council and the Heads of State Council due in Dushanbe and Minsk this autumn.
“Dushanbe will play host to the CIS Ministerial Council on 9 October and the Heads of State Council on 10 October,” Sergei Lebedev stated. “The agenda comprises numerous significant topics, particularly focusing on strengthening and developing cooperation in military affairs and counterterrorism efforts.”
The secretary general highlighted two key declarations expected to be considered: “I am confident these documents will be adopted. The first concerns the United Nations’ 80th anniversary. It is an exceptionally important organization for us. We all follow UN principles and highly value its activities. Expert work is currently underway to finalize the text of the declaration. The second declaration marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Three CIS states – Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, which suffered the worst - commemorate this date and continue their efforts to mitigate its impact. This significant anniversary obliges us to reaffirm the importance of nuclear facility safety and the necessity of joint measures to address the aftermath of the disaster.”
