Leaders of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states will discuss regional and international security issues at an informal summit in Kazakhstan on Friday, the Kremlin reported.
"The heads of state are expected to exchange opinions on urgent issues of the modern international situation, including in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as in the CSTO responsibility zone," the Kremlin said.
The CSTO is a regional security organization. Its seven member states are Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
