CSTO ready to resume cooperation with OSCE

The CSTO is ready to resume cooperation with the OSCE, with which ties had previously been suspended, RIA Novosti writes, citing CSTO Secretary General Talatbek Masadykov.

“We are closely monitoring the processes taking place within the OSCE. We are ready to resume cooperation. Relations with this organization were not suspended at our initiative,” Masadykov said while speaking at a meeting of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly Council.

He also announced that an international roundtable on the topic “CSTO: Together for Peace and Stability” will be held in May.

“A meeting with the OSCE secretary general is planned,” Masadykov added.
