The authorities of Kazakhstan are actively preparing for the upcoming Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) exercises "Unbreakable Brotherhood - 2024" and "Rock-2024" scheduled for autumn 2024. This announcement was made by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during a meeting with the speakers of the parliaments of CSTO member countries.
"As the current chair of the organization, we prioritize the timely execution of joint measures to enhance the operational and combat readiness of the CSTO management bodies and force formations. We are actively preparing for the CSTO exercises 'Unbreakable Brotherhood-2024' and 'Rock-2024' to be held in Kazakhstan this fall," Tokayev stated, according to his press service.
President Tokayev emphasized the need for CSTO's collective security system to maintain a high level of readiness. He also highlighted the necessity of taking effective and practical measures to combat terrorist threats and ensure the safety of citizens within CSTO countries.
The President noted the importance of cooperation among CSTO member countries in preventing and mitigating the effects of emergency situations. "The recent flood situation in our region has underscored the significant risks of natural disasters. Kazakhstan has experienced their consequences firsthand. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to your countries for the fraternal solidarity and assistance provided in connection with the floods in Kazakhstan. We deeply appreciate this support," he said.
Tokayev reiterated Kazakhstan's commitment to strengthening its interactions with international organizations and structures aimed at ensuring security during its CSTO chairmanship. "We consider it extremely important to increase cooperation with specialized structures of the UN, CIS, and SCO. We welcome the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the CSTO Secretariat and the CIS Anti-Terrorist Center in January of this year," the President of Kazakhstan concluded.
