“The West is clearly seeking to undermine the integration processes in the Commonwealth space.
In this situation, it is especially important to adapt the existing security mechanisms in the CIS to modern realities, to link work within the Commonwealth with the CSTO and the SCO, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Evdokimov added that activities in these areas are underway.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry also stressed that the CIS members should be flexible and not be limited to one format.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to accept the proposal of the Cabinet of Ministers to sign an agreement on cooperation between the CIS countries in combating corruption.
