The Kyrgyz Republic’s National Strategic Studies Institute is cooperating with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to devise ways to lessen the appeal of extremism among the nation’s ethnic minorities.

Institute Director Talant Sultanov and the OSCE Office of High Commissioner on National Minorities discussed ways to reduce radicalization. An OSCE delegation outlined a program to support ethnic minorities, including multilingual education at 56 schools.

Creating a forum of Central Asian counties to combat violent extremism was discussed, and Kyrgyz and OSCE officials agreed to broaden their cooperation.
