A meeting of the expert group to finalize and agree on the draft Fundamentals of the Information Policy of CIS Member States in the Border Sphere took place on September 3–4, the press service of the Organization's Executive Committee reported.
Representatives from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, the Council of Commanders of the Border Troops, the Coordination Service of the Council of Commanders of the Border Troops, and the CIS Executive Committee took part in the discussion.
Experts revised the document, taking into account the member countries' proposals, and approved it by a majority vote. The draft will soon be submitted to the CIS Council of Heads of State for consideration.
The draft Fundamentals of Information Policy was developed in pursuance of paragraph 1.1.4 of the CIS Cooperation Program for Strengthening Border Security at External Borders for 2021–2025.
The need for its preparation is due to new challenges and threats in the information sphere, the active development of digital technologies, their impact on the information infrastructure and environment, as well as the task of ensuring stability and security at the borders.
The adoption of the document will allow CIS states to develop and adjust their information policies in the interests of coordinated border activities and countering modern threats.
