"We must act as the architects of a unified, secure, and technologically advanced legal space for the Commonwealth, aimed at strengthening the rule of law and protecting citizens' rights," said Russian Justice Minister Konstantin Chuychenko at the opening ceremony of the 20th meeting of the CIS Council of Justice Ministers.

According to him, today's event is taking place in the year of the 35th anniversary of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
