Yuri Chikhanchin, the chairman of the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (EAG) said that the group is seeking joint measures to counter the threat of terrorism in Afghanistan.
Chikhanchin said about 600 people have been identified who are linked to international networks involved in terror financing this year.
The EAG consists of nine members: China, Russia, India, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Belarus.
The regional group held its 41st plenary meeting in India on November 25. The five-day meeting concluded on Friday with a statement on the growing threat of terrorism.
The member states of this group have expressed concern about the financing of terrorism, saying that the risks related to terrorism are not limited to any country.
The chairman of the regional group, Chikhanchin, warned that "the threat of terrorism throughout the region is the most prevalent and worrisome threat".
"Afghanistan is a country where the threat of terrorism is still present. We are considering joint measures to counter this threat emanating from Afghanistan. In one of our meetings, we discussed how to strengthen relations with Afghanistan and minimise risks in that country," he said.
Previously, the countries of the region have repeatedly expressed concern about the increasing spread of "terrorism" from Afghanistan.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Security Service (FSB) considered the presence of international terrorist groups in Afghanistan as the biggest threat to Central Asian countries.
The Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) has also warned that the risk of terrorism spreading in Central Asia from Afghanistan remains.
