Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states plan to conduct joint counter-terrorism exercises in Belarus in 2026. According to sources, Kazakhstan will host similar exercises in 2027.
The exercises are aimed at strengthening coordination between the security agencies of member states in combating terrorism. They form part of the SCO's regional security cooperation program.
The SCO will conduct joint counter-terrorism exercises in Belarus in 2026 and in Kazakhstan in 2027 as part of strengthening security coordination among the organization's member states.
The exercises demonstrate Belarus's integration into SCO structures following its accession in 2024, which may affect regional stability and the balance of power in Central Asia. For citizens and businesses in the participating countries, this could mean temporary restrictions on mobility and enhanced security checks during the conduct of the maneuvers.
