“I am confident that the joint anti-terrorist exercises “East – Anti-Terror – 2024”, which will be held tomorrow for the first time in our country, will also serve to expand practical interaction and increase the potential of special forces units in the fight against common security threats,” – Mirziyoyev noted.
