Participants discussed the need to strengthen coordination between law enforcement agencies and intelligence services amid the unstable international situation, armed conflicts in the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

"I would like to focus on security issues in Central Asia, which are of paramount importance to Kyrgyzstan."
Impact on the Eurasian space
The ability to neutralize threats is viewed as a condition for the stability of the Eurasian space and a guarantee of successful economic partnership between friendly states. The Secretaries-General of the CIS and SCO also participated in the summit in its extended format.
