MINSK, 23 August (BelTA) – The CSTO needs to determine a clear position in case of the possible recognition of Taliban in a number of countries, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the extraordinary session of the Collective Security Council of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on the situation in Afghanistan on 23 August, BelTA informs.
“Against the backdrop of the diplomatic efforts of Taliban to establish relations with key global and regional players, a number of countries are inclined to recognize the movement. For our organization it is important to clearly realize to what extent such prospects are real and to determine our position in this case,” the Belarusian leader said.
“In this regard we hope that the Russian president will timely inform us about his position, as he usually does. Russia is not only one of the key players here. It is the main player, and a lot will depend on Russia. In the union, of course, with the republics of Central Asia,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
