First meeting of Council of Permanent Representatives of CIS countries to take place in Belarus

A regular meeting of the Council of Permanent Representatives of the
members of the Commonwealth took place on the 28th of January and was
hosted by the CIS Executive Committee in Minsk, the CIS Executive
Committee informs in a message, according to Trend.

This was the first meeting under the chairmanship of the Permanent
Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Tajikistan to the bodies of the
Commonwealth, Kozidovlat Koimdodov.

At the meeting the year 2011 was declared the year of food safety
within the CIS.

Much attention will be paid to cooperation between the members of the
CIS in the sphere of energy, transport, social and labour relations,
migration, ecology, environmental protection and the fight against new
challenges and threats to security, as well as the humanitarian
sphere.

According to Koimdodov, the major challenge for the CIS is to inform
the public about the integration processes taking place within the
Commonwealth. One of the most significant media projects which serves
this aim is the modern site Ania (www.ania-news.info), created in 2010
in order to highlight the everyday activities of the CIS countries.

The meeting concluded with the presentation of a new version of a
unified register of legal acts and other documents of the CIS. In the
near future it will be available to all the internet users at the site
of the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth (www.cis.minsk.by).
