Bishkek, October 16 (Xinhua) — The third meeting of national security advisers (NSA) in the Central Asia-India format took place on Thursday in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The press service of the President of Kyrgyzstan reported this.

This multilateral format is reportedly a continuation of broad regional cooperation in the interests of peace and strengthening stability, and also serves as a unique platform for exchanging views on key security issues.

In his speech, Secretary of the Security Council of Kyrgyzstan Baktybek Bekbolotov noted that the most valuable aspect of this meeting was the similarity in assessments of the situation and the degree of impact of challenges and threats on regional and national security.

According to him, the current international political situation is in many ways the main restraining factor for effective interaction and fruitful cooperation.

B. Bekbolotov emphasized that cooperation should include not only military and law enforcement components, but also cultural interaction, humanitarian exchanges, the expansion of educational programs, and joint initiatives in science and technology.

Earlier, the Central Asian Security Council Secretaries and the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of India met with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov. During the meeting, issues of ensuring regional security and countering current threats and challenges were discussed.
