Member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) have agreed to create a unified communication system for their armed forces, aiming to enhance military coordination and regional security.
The decision was made during a meeting of the CIS Council of Foreign Ministers held in Almaty. The gathering concluded with the signing of several agreements focused on defense cooperation and legal collaboration among the member countries.
One of the key outcomes was the adoption of a framework outlining the principles for establishing and operating a joint military communication system. According to Tajikistan’s Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin, the initiative will improve interoperability between the armed forces of CIS nations and strengthen collective security in the region.
The ministers reviewed 13 agenda items and discussed 17 draft documents. Agreements signed include:
• A statute on the Council of Permanent Plenipotentiary Representatives to CIS bodies;
• Protocols amending the Convention on Legal Assistance in Civil, Family, and Criminal Cases;
• Founding documents for new CIS institutions, including those responsible for information security in the military sphere.
Talks were conducted in both restricted and expanded formats, with particular focus on enhancing political dialogue, coordinating responses to modern threats, and boosting economic cooperation among member states.
The CIS Council of Foreign Ministers meets twice a year. The previous session took place in Moscow in October 2024. As in recent years, Moldova did not attend the Almaty meeting. Although it remains a formal member of the CIS, the country has significantly scaled back its participation in the organization.
Formed after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the CIS provides a platform for cooperation across a range of areas, including defense, trade, and humanitarian affairs.
