Russia to Host CSTO Collective Security Council Meeting on November 11; Anti-Terrorism Strategy Until 2030 on Agenda
Moscow, November 10, 2026: Russia is set to host a meeting of the Collective Security Council of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on November 11, 2026, with discussions expected to focus on strengthening regional security cooperation, improving the organisation’s collective defence framework and reviewing pressing international and regional developments.
According to an official announcement from the Russian Presidency, the meeting will address key aspects of cooperation among CSTO member states and consider measures to further enhance the effectiveness of the organisation’s collective security system.
Anti-Terrorism Strategy Until 2030 to Be Signed
One of the major outcomes expected from the meeting is the signing of several important documents, including a final declaration outlining the collective position and priorities of the member states.
The proposed CSTO Anti-Terrorism Strategy until 2030, prepared at Russia’s initiative, will also be among the key documents scheduled for signing. The strategy is intended to provide a framework for strengthening cooperation against terrorism and addressing evolving security challenges affecting the region.
The adoption of these documents is expected to reinforce the organisation’s institutional approach to collective security and coordinated responses to emerging threats.
Russia to Hand Over CSTO Chairmanship to Tajikistan
Another significant development will be the formalisation of the transfer of the CSTO chairmanship from Russia to Tajikistan, effective January 1, 2027.
The transition will mark the beginning of Tajikistan’s tenure at the organisation’s helm, with the country’s leadership expected to guide the CSTO’s activities and cooperation priorities during the upcoming chairmanship period.
Regional Security and International Developments in Focus
The meeting comes at a time when regional security cooperation, counterterrorism efforts and geopolitical developments remain important concerns for CSTO member states.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization serves as a multilateral security framework for its member countries, providing a platform for political coordination, military cooperation and joint responses to security challenges.
The November 11 gathering is expected to provide an opportunity for member states to review existing cooperation mechanisms, assess emerging regional challenges and establish priorities for the organisation’s next phase.
The final declaration and the proposed Anti-Terrorism Strategy through 2030 will be important indicators of the CSTO’s future direction, while the transition of leadership to Tajikistan will introduce a new chapter in the organisation’s collective security agenda.
