The participants from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan will discuss developments in the field of confidence- and security-building measures, which are the focus of the Vienna Document 2011. Implementation aspects such as inspection procedures, experience exchange and the demonstration of weapons and equipment systems are also on the agenda.
The Vienna Document, adopted by all OSCE participating States, obliges States to share information on their armed forces and military activities. It also contains provisions on compliance and verification, such as conducting and hosting inspections and evaluations, as well as on risk reduction, military contacts and co-operation, and prior notification of certain military activities. Participants in the seminar represent their national agencies, which are responsible for the practical implementation of the Document's provisions in the OSCE participating States.
