Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, whose country hosted a two-day CSTO summit in Cholpon-Ata, said the center will help member states exchange information on Internet security and their experiences with combating cyber crime.

Bakiyev said, a center for youth education will also be established in Cholpon-Ata.

The CSTO, a security group comprised of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, agreed in June to form a joint rapid reaction force.
