Focus on Emerging Threats and Strategies
Under the theme "National and Regional Counter-Terrorism Strategies Amid Emerging Security Challenges and Threats," the conference agenda features in-depth discussions on critical issues. These include disrupting the flow of terrorist financing, countering the misuse of information technologies by extremist groups, and strategies to prevent radicalization. The participation extends beyond state officials to include civil society representatives and academics, promoting a multi-faceted dialogue.
Broadening the Security Cooperation Network
The meeting brings together delegates not only from BRICS+ nations but also from key international and regional organizations. Experts from the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are contributing to the sessions. This wide participation underscores a growing trend toward multilateral security coordination outside traditional Western-led alliances, a space where nations like Türkiye also engage through various diplomatic and security forums.
Objectives and Expected Outcomes
A primary goal of the Moscow conference is to facilitate the exchange of threat assessments and share proven counter-terrorism practices among members. The talks are designed to supplement the ongoing work of the BRICS Counter-Terrorism Working Group. Ultimately, the event seeks to strengthen practical cooperation based on the bloc's existing counter-terrorism strategy and action plans, reinforcing a collective approach to a shared security challenge.
