CSTO's efforts for security dialogue with NATO met with indifference

Russia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) have more than once offered NATO a dialogue on building a security system, but these proposals have not found a reciprocal desire, Viktor Vasilyev, Russia's permanent representative to the CSTO, said in an interview with Sputnik, APA reports.

“We do not close ourselves off from dialogue with Western countries. The Russian side and the CSTO have repeatedly voiced proposals to NATO to start a dialogue with a view to finding common ground on building a security system, including the key principle - that we do not ensure our security at the expense of the security of others. Unfortunately, those proposals that were repeatedly made by us did not find a reciprocal desire,” Vasilyev said.
