At the next CSTO meeting, a plan to strengthen Tajikistan's border with Afghanistan is on the agenda, said Tasmagambetov.

According to the RIA Novosti news agency, the meeting of the Security Council of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation will be held in the city of Astana.

Regional organisations, including the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), have repeatedly expressed concern over the past three years about the risk of extremism spreading from Afghanistan to Central Asia.

Earlier, representatives from more than 40 countries expressed concern over the growing spread of extremism, radical religious teachings and racial discrimination in various countries. At a meeting in Moscow, they warned that the situation could lead to catastrophic consequences.
