The 22nd meeting of the Interstate Commission on Military-Economic Cooperation of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) was recently held in Bishkek, as reported by the organization.
During the meeting, coordination of the concept was finalized, aiming to enhance cooperation between defense enterprises of the CSTO countries. Once approved in their respective states, the document will be submitted for final approval.
One of the key decisions made at the meeting was to establish a system of catalogues for supplying the armed forces and to focus on the protection of intellectual property rights in cooperation efforts.
Additionally, the Commission approved a list of international exhibitions scheduled for 2025-2026, where military, dual-use, special-purpose products, and technologies from CSTO member states can be showcased.
Looking ahead, a work plan for the upcoming year was also approved, with the next meeting set to take place in September-October 2025 in Kazakhstan.
