This centre would undoubtedly facilitate an implementation of joint initiatives and projects among Central Asian countries in the field of artificial intelligence. It is worth noting that, along with the improvement of digital technologies, the number of new security threats, particularly cybercrime, is also growing. We therefore emphasise that cyber security must be an important component of collective security. It is evident that, along with cybercrime, terrorism, extremism, illegal weapons smuggling, drug trafficking and other forms of transnational organised crime continue to pose a serious threat to global security. Tajikistan supports the further expansion of international cooperation on global security within the framework of the Dushanbe counter-terrorism process. We are determined and willing to establish constructive interaction within this process with international organisations and the UN Member States to even more enhance efforts to counter the aforementioned threatened security risks. We believe that relevant UN agencies, in particular the Office of Counter-Terrorism, can make an effective contribution to the comprehensive implementation of global counter-terrorism strategies and programmes and strengthen their support to all Member States in this area.
