The agenda focussed on the CIS anti-terror alliance, building up its efforts, and meeting other challenges to stability and security in the context of the latest CIS, OSCE and UN documents. The gathering approved a draft statement on international anti-terror combat. The statement will be offered to the CIS heads of state for confirmation.
Also prominent on the session agenda were debates on a draft appeal of the CIS heads of state to their nations and to the world on the approaching 60th anniversary of victory in World War II.
The council made a statement in Moscow, July 3, on the situation in the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. To develop on it, today's conferees made another CIS appeal to its partners on the OSCE. It is making practical proposals to adapt the OSCE to the latest developments, with due account for new threats and challenges, and concerns key aspects of OSCE activities in the near future.
The gathering paid close attention to enhancing CIS agencies' efficiency. The ministers approved a Kazakh-initiated draft resolution of the CIS council of heads of state to reform and streamline Commonwealth bodies.
The conferees also signed resolutions on a development concept for the Mir television and radio broadcasting company, and on a CIS agreement for partnership in physical culture and sports.
