Afghanistan on agenda as CSTO leaders meet in Moscow

The situation in Afghanistan will be on the agenda when leaders of member countries in the Collective Treaty Security Organization (CSTO) meet for a summit on December 19 in the Russian capital, Moscow, Radio Liberty reported.

The CSTO brings together Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

Uzbekistan earlier this year suspended its membership in the organization.
