The Federation Council of the Russian Federation continues to work actively in the sphere of international cooperation, placing special emphasis on cooperation within the CSTO. During the spring session, the Head of the Upper House of Parliament Valentina Matvienko emphasized that in the conditions of growing pressure from outside, the priority remains the protection of the rights of allies and the strengthening of partnership ties. She noted that the Federation Council will work to increase the effectiveness of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly in order to strengthen the mechanisms of collective security and joint response to threats. Senators will also strengthen coordination with the parliaments of CIS, Asian and African states, expanding the space for constructive dialog. In addition, the fight for historical truth will occupy an important place in the agenda. Matvienko instructed to give priority attention to preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War and countering attempts to falsify it. In this connection, the Federation Council will continue dialog with international partners to prevent the distortion of historical facts and, in parallel, to strengthen humanitarian cooperation in the CSTO countries.
