ASTANA (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday called for using full potential of cooperation between the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) in combating terrorism, among others.
"I consider it reasonable to use full potential of cooperation between the CIS and SCO, particularly in the area of fighting terrorism, extremism, crime, drug trafficking and corruption. Practical opportunities for that will be provided by the Cooperation Program of CIS member-states in combating terrorism and extremism for 2023-2025, which we will sign today," Putin said at the meeting of the Council of CIS Heads of State in the Kazakh capital of Astana.
The president noted that the two organizations could deepen their partnership in other areas as well, including transport, trade, culture, tourism, science, health care and humanitarian cooperation.
