The fight against terrorism will always be one of the priorities of the organization's activities, and we strive to strengthen cooperation between countries on this track."

During the meeting, the sides exchanged views on the issues of combating terrorism, extremism and separatism, strengthening cooperation in countering modern threats and challenges, and also touched upon issues in the field of regional security. Following the meeting, a protocol was signed.
