President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev spoke about the situation in Afghanistan and told what the creation of a humanitarian hub of the SCO in Almaty could give to deliver international aid to Afghanistan, Kazinform correspondent reports.

Earlier, during a meeting of the Council of Heads of SCO Member States, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev proposed creating a humanitarian hub of the SCO in Almaty to deliver international aid to Afghanistan.

“The last months have passed under the sign of an accelerated transformation of the military-political situation in Afghanistan. There is a threat of its destabilization. The mandate of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization includes issues of prevention and response to such threats. This determines the importance of coordinating actions between our two authoritative regional structures. The Afghan interim government was faced with a complex of extremely difficult tasks. In addition to strategic goals, building a new state structure and achieving national unity, urgent issues of survival will have to be addressed,” said during a meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO member states in Dushanbe.
