"Most importantly, you have already drawn up a strategy. Concerning all proposals, naturally, they will be discussed at the CSTO’s emergency summit meeting in Moscow on February 4," Medvedev told CSTO General Secretary Nikolai Bordyuzha on Monday.

The CSTO members had reached agreement on the strategy for developing the organization’s rapid reaction force, Bordyuzha said. They must be "mobile, versatile and capable of reacting to all, not only military, crises. Agreement was reached to set up a coordinating center that will, among other things, supervise the level of joint combat training. Finally, proposals were made to make relevant legislative amendments in the organization’s member-states," Bordyuzha said.

The member-countries’ defense ministers will meet to discuss these proposals on Tuesday, he continued. Among the issues to be discussed is "a plan to attach mobile and air-mobile units to the rapid reaction corps to deal instantly with acts of terrorism in member-states," he said.

Among other proposals is that of setting up the rapid reaction forces’ single command.

The CSTO comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
