In his remarks, FM Nalbandian noted that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the Collective Security Treaty plus the 25th anniversary of the majority of the CSTO member states’ membership in the UN. The Foreign Minister of Armenia attached importance to further increasing the role of the UN in maintaining international peace and security, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, implementation of the sustainable development goals, fight against terrorism, and addressing new challenges and threats.
