BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- The China-Kazakhstan
joint anti-terror drill displayed the excellent response to emergencies of
participating troops of the two sides, said a senior Kazakhstan security
official Saturday.
The first phase of the drill was held in the Almaty
region of Kazakhstan Thursday. The second-phase was held in northwest China's
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Saturday.
Vladimir Boshko, First Vice Chairman of the Committee
of the National Security of Kazakhstan, said experience from the drill will
surely enhance coordination and cooperation of Shanghai Cooperation Organization
(SCO) countries in anti-terror actions.
Vyacheslav T. Kasimov, director of the Executive
Committee of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure of SCO, said the good
cooperation between public security, border guard force, state security and
customs departments in the drill is important to fighting terrorist forces.
He said the drill further shows leaders of this
region will deal resolute blows to the "three evil forces", namely separatists,
terrorists and extremists, if necessary.
He said the SCO will further push forward anti-terror
efforts. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are considering to
hold a multi-lateral anti-terror drill.
He said the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure of the
SCO is engaged in cooperation with other international organizations on three
levels: information analysis, harmonization of laws and concrete anti-terror
actions.
Meng Hongwei, China's vice-minister of Public
Security, said the drill fully shows the determination of SCO countries in
fighting the "three evil forces".
"It is of great significance to frightening the 'three evil forces' in the region, enhancing SCO's role in maintaining regional security and stability, exploring new approaches to security cooperation and coping with new challenges in international and regional situations," said Meng. Enditem
