MOSCOW: On the second day of his state visit to Kazakhstan’s capital Astana, Russian President Vladimir Putin will participate in the summit of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and hold a media stakeout.

The CSTO summit will bring together Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov and Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon, along with Putin and the host nation’s leader, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

During the event, Kyrgyzstan will formally assume the rotating CSTO presidency for 2025.

The Armenian delegation will not be present at the summit. However, its representatives said in advance that they had no objections to the documents that had already been agreed on, Kremlin Aide Yury Ushakov said.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said earlier that Yerevan had suspended its participation in the CSTO because, in its view, the organization had created threats to the country’s sovereignty. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said at an international security forum in Warsaw that Yerevan was calculating all risks related to a potential withdrawal from the CSTO. However, Armenia has not made specific decisions to leave the organization.

Summit’s agenda

Participants of the summit are expected to exchange opinions on pressing issues of the regional and international agenda, "taking into account the rising threats to stability in the organization's area of responsibility and adjacent areas, as well as the tasks of forming a new architecture of equal indivisible security in Eurasia."

The leaders will also recap the work done since the previous summit in Minsk in November 2023. On top of that, priority areas for further development of the CSTO will be outlined.

Two meetings have been planned: one with a limited circle of delegates, and the other with the expanded circle of delegates. At the first one - which is to be attended only by CSTO leaders - the only issue for discussion will be pressing security issues.

The second one will be devoted to priorities of Kyrgyzstan’s forthcoming presidency. A number of documents will be signed.

According to the Kremlin aide, "the most interesting thing is, of course, the informal discussion that is usually held after such meetings."

President’s media stakeout

Prior to his departure from Astana, Putin plans to hold a media stakeout to sum up the results of his two-day state visit.

This is a traditional practice. Previously, the president talked to the media during his previous visits to Belarus, Vietnam, North Korea, Kazakhstan, China and Uzbekistan.
