The VI Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia took place in Astana on August 9. 

In his speech, Emomali Rahmon, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, noted the need to create mechanisms for close cooperation between law enforcement agencies of Central Asian countries.

He also stated that in the context of increasing global challenges and threats it is necessary to develop new efficient forms of cooperation in the field of security.

When achieving these goals, the CSTO Member States prioritize political means.
