Communications and management in the interests of crisis response

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is due to establish a Crisis Response Center to help member-states deal with major security threats, Secretary-General Nikolay Bordyuzha said on Thursday.

In an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda, an official newspaper of Russia’s Defense Ministry, Bordyuzha said the plans on setting up the center were announced at the meeting of a decision-making body, the Collective Security Council.

The center, which is to be created with Moscow’s assistance, is expected to coordinate with Russia’s new National Defense Control Center, aimed at integrating the leadership and direction of defense and security structures in real time.
