On December 7-8, 2017 a meeting of the Aviation Security Coordinating Council of the States Parties to the Agreement on collaboration against acts of unlawful interference in civil aviation (Minsk, 1995) was held at the headquarters of the Interstate Aviation Committee.  

The implementation of the recommendations of the 39th Session of the ICAO Assembly (2016) on Aviation Security, as well as the progress of the preparation of the ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP), which is intended to replace the ICAO Comprehensive Aviation Security Strategy (adopted in 2010), were discussed and reflected in the final Resolution of the meeting. The meeting participants agreed to coordinate the activities of national aviation security services to achieve the following results after GASP implementation:

- improve risk awareness and response; 

- develop a culture of aviation security and human capacities;  

- expand technical resources and promote innovations; 

- improve oversight and quality inspection; 

- strengthen cooperation between States in order to achieve key goals expeditiously and effectively.

The meeting was attended by heads of civil aviation authorities, national/state-owned airlines, and international airports in the CIS, as well as representatives of security agencies and international organizations.
