Security and intelligence leaders from across the Commonwealth of Independent States will gather in Samarqand on October 16–17 for a two-day summit hosted by Uzbekistan’s State Security Service, Orda.kz reports, citing Gazeta.uz.
The agenda includes the 57th meeting of the CIS Council of Security and Special Service Chiefs and the 21st session of the Conference of Intelligence Heads. Delegations are expected from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, alongside representatives from the CIS Executive Committee and the Anti-Terrorism Center.
According to organizers, participants will discuss ways to strengthen coordination against shared security threats — from terrorism and extremism to cybercrime, organized crime, and drug trafficking.
The Samarqand meetings are expected to produce new guidelines for regional cooperation and define priorities for joint action on both regional and global security challenges.
Incidentally, last year, for the first time, the heads of intelligence services from the five Central Asian states — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan — convened in Tashkent.
