Revised CIS concept of further development approved

MINSK, 18 December (BelTA) - The CIS Council of Heads of State approved the revised concept for further development of the CIS and the plan of the main measures to it during the online meeting on 18 December, BelTA learned.

The current concept was adopted in 2007, Chairman of the CIS Executive Committee Sergei Lebedev said during the summit. But despite the fact that its key provisions are still relevant today, it was time to update it.

“Some provisions of the document needed to be brought into line with the current level of multilateral cooperation and documents adopted in the CIS,” he said. “The revised concept states that the main task of the CIS is to become more efficient, including by means of ensuring the fulfillment of the commitments made by the states, monitoring their implementation”.

The document outlines economic cooperation as the key priority. More focus will be placed on the further development of the free trade zone, digital economy, and information security. Political interaction is outlined as one of the central functions of the CIS.
