He said it was a symbolism that today's joint work began with a visit to the exhibition of modern arms, military and special equipment used in the special military operation in Ukraine.

In the course of the meeting, he suggested that the meeting of the Committee should analyse the military and political situation developing in the world and on the borders of the Commonwealth countries, discuss the construction and development of joint military systems in the CIS format, consider the areas of combat training and field training of troops, taking into account the experience of modern combat operations, and discuss other issues of multilateral military cooperation of mutual interest.
