Today the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CIS countries was held. The result was an agreed package of documents for the upcoming Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth. These are the concepts of cooperation in countering corruption, exchanging information in the field of combating terrorism and other manifestations of extremism, as well as their financing. The heads of the CIS Foreign Ministries also approved the projects of the leaders of the Commonwealth countries on supporting the institution of the family and traditional family values.

The heads of foreign affairs agencies also discuss cooperation within the CIS, and, more broadly, topical international issues. There are 17 issues on the agenda: from fighting corruption to supporting the institution of the family. The discussion will be continued tomorrow by the presidents.

It says that the preservation of traditional values ​​is one of the main priorities of social policy. The text of this statement, if signed by the leaders, is planned to be sent to the UN, OSCE and other international organizations.
