Russian, Indian, Chinese, Kyrgyz, Pakistani, Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, and Belarusian military delegations held a meeting on the sidelines of the Peace Mission-2021 SCO counterterrorism drills in Russia.
"We analysed the situation in Afghanistan and its impact on creating prerequisites for the escalation of security threats in the SCO member states. We agreed to hold regular consultations between our countries in order to prevent destabilising processes on the territory of SCO member states", Gerasimov said.
SCO sees an expansion of terrorist activities, problems with humanitarian assistance, and an increase in drug trafficking as the key threats, the Russian General Staff chief continued.
