MINSK, 26 January (BelTA) - A meeting of the expert group to coordinate the draft plan of priority measures for humanitarian cooperation among CIS member states for 2027-2028 was held at the CIS headquarters in Minsk, BelTA learned from the CIS Executive Committee.
The meeting was attended by representatives from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, the Secretariat of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly Council, the Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation, and the CIS Executive Committee.
The meeting was opened by Aleksei Sazonov, Director of the Department for Cooperation in Political, Humanitarian, and Social Spheres of the CIS Executive Committee, who noted the significant importance of the discussed draft for implementing humanitarian cooperation plans. According to him, this project is in demand in the participating countries as it allows for the synchronization of national events, advance planning of funding, and resolving organizational issues for joint events. The experts reviewed proposals received from the states and, taking them into account, finalized and broadly approved the document.
The next expert discussion of the draft plan is scheduled for March 2026.
The development of the plan is driven by the need to coordinate multilateral interaction in the fields of education, science, culture, information and mass communications, book publishing, book distribution and printing, sports and healthy lifestyles, tourism, and youth work.
Organizing work on humanitarian cooperation according to such plans has proven effective as one of the factors for strengthening ties and establishing contacts in the humanitarian sector.
