The Council unanimously agreed that actions taken must be adaptable to the current threat level and that strengthening efforts should be comprehensive, encompassing the development of land roads, railway connections, logistical materials along the border, and enhancement of military capabilities. This multifaceted approach underscores the importance of maintaining security and readiness in response to evolving regional dynamics.
