Russia, China, CSTO and SCO may become locomotive of counterterrorism - Bordyuzha
MOSCOW. April 28 (Interfax-AVN) - A broad coalition for fighting international terrorism may be created on the basis of consolidation around Russia, China, the CSTO and SCO countries, CSTO General Secretary Nikolai Bordyuzha said.
"I think there is a need to consider the possibility of consolidation around the Russian Federation and the CSTO countries, consolidation around China and the countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which could become a locomotive in the organization of the entire anti-terrorist fight," Bordyuzha said, at the Moscow Conference on International Security on Thursday.
"With this approach and, most importantly, the political will of all of the countries, we can resolve this problem of creating a broad coalition, and increasing the effectiveness of counterterrorism within a short period of time," Bordyuzha said.
He said there is a need for "consolidation around the countries that have proven to be honest and unselfish fighters against terrorism, who have the potential for global work on the anti-terrorist track."
