At the CSTO summit in Bishkek, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for launching a joint programme to modernise the organisation’s military forces with Russian-made weaponry. His remarks come as regional leaders — including Kyrgyzstan’s President Japarov — highlight rising security challenges and the need for deeper cooperation. The proposal aims to boost CSTO interoperability, strengthen defence capabilities, and expand coordinated regional security efforts.
