On October 22 Serzh Sargsyan received the delegation of participants
of the Council of heads of security and special service bodies of
CIS countries.

Assessing such meetings as extremely useful and fruitful, Mr. Sargsyan
emphasised their importance from the perspective of exchange of
information and experience, elaboration and implementation of joint
actions against menaces. In his words, the world is rapidly changing,
new realities and challenges come forth, which simultaneously
lead to the change of the requirements posed to special service
bodies. According to Serzh Sargsyan, the regular contacts of security
bodies contribute to the elaboration and implementation of measures
corresponding to existing challenges. President of the CIS Council
of heads of security and special service bodies, Head of the Federal
Security Service of Russia, General Alexander Bortnikov presented
the issues discussed during the 25th sitting of the Council. It was
noted that most issues referred to the combat against terrorism and
aimed at ensuring coordinated actions and a high level of cooperation.

Serzh Sargsyan said the Council of heads of security and special
service bodies is one of the most active and effective bodies of the
Commonwealth of Independent States.
