According to the Near-Border Service of Kazakhstan National Security Commission, the meeting’s objective lays in analyzing the situation at the Central Asian part of the CIS external border and working out joint measures for countering new challenges and threats, prevention of penetration of terrorists, weapons, ammunition, drugs, illegal migrants and money through the borders of CIS member-countries, as well as rendering mutual practical aide in ensuring border security of the region's countries. “Growing threats to stability in the region predetermine the necessity of further consolidation of joint efforts. We are concerned about remaining activities of terrorist and extremist organizations in the region, especially prior to NATO troops withdrawal from Afghanistan. The activities of the terrorist organizations are directly linked with drug trafficking. Let’s face it, we are able seize just a small part of Afghan opiates trafficked through our borders. In this relation we have to work out a clear strategy of joint actions to adequately respond to the regional security threat. We believe it necessary to expand practices of joint operations on detection and suppression of the international drug channels. It is important to take practical steps aimed at enhancing protection of external borders. It is practical to develop a positive cooperation experience in personnel training,” chairman of Kazakhstan National Security Commission Nurtai Abykayev said opening the meeting. The meeting will complete with signing of the protocol to be reviewed at the 69th meeting of the Border Troops Commanders.
