Dates for President Putin's India visit 'almost finalised': NSA Doval in Moscow
Moscow/New Delhi, Aug 7 (UNI) National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said in Moscow today that the dates for the India visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin are 'almost finalised' and that the annual summit meetings between their leadership have been a watershed moment in the bilateral ties. In his comments during a bilateral meeting with Russian Security Council chief Sergei Shoigu in Moscow, NSA Doval said: 'We are very excited and delighted to learn about the visit of His Excellency President of Russia, President Putin, to India. I think that the dates are almost finalised now. 'More important thing is that these summit meetings have always been a watershed for us. They have always given a new direction to our relationship – (in terms of) what is there that we can add in substance and in terms of deliverables to the talks.' Referring to Shoigu's remarks, Doval said: 'You have very rightly mentioned that we have got a very special relationship, long relationship, and we highly value our strategic partnership. 'We have high level engagements, and these engagements have contributed very substantially' to the relationship. NSA Doval said that PM Modi has specifically asked him to convey thanks to the Russian President for the support to India during the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22. 'I want to thank Russia and President Putin, and the PM has specifically asked me to convey his thanks; and I will probably convey it to the President when I meet him, for the support he gave when India was attacked, and we faced a very gruesome terrorist attack, on April 22..' Referring to Shoigu's remarks on the current geopolitical situation, NSA Doval said: 'You said that the world is passing through a tumultuous situation, there is some unpredictability, there are some uncertainties, and in an environment like this our old strategic and privileged partnership has got a very special role. 'Though we know each others' position, we have been exchanging our thoughts and ideas at various levels from time to time,' he said. He also apologised for having missed the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow in May, due to suffering from Covid. In his remarks, the Russian security chief said that 'Russia and India are linked by strong, trusting, time-tested bonds of friendship". 'For our country, the comprehensive strengthening of the special privileged strategic partnership with India, based on mutual respect, equal consideration of each other's interests and the desire to advance a unifying agenda, is of paramount importance.' He added that both Russia and India are looking to create 'a new, more just and sustainable world order, ensuring the supremacy of international law and jointly combating modern challenges and threats.' The NSA's Moscow visit comes amid US President Donald Trump's signing of an executive order on Wednesday which imposed an additional 25% tariff on all imports from India, in a bid to pressurise New Delhi to cut its oil trade with Russia. In effect, most Indian exports to the US will be charged a high 50% tariff. India, for its part, has refused to budge, criticising the move and calling the White House' measures 'extremely unfortunate,' while pledging to protect its own national interests. At his meeting with Doval on Thursday, Shoigu said, 'Regular consultations through the Security Council of the two countries help deepen Russian-Indian relations and take them to a new, higher level in the current difficult international situation.'

Morocco's Top Police Chief Attends 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow
Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance, Abdellatif Hammouchi, is on a working visit to Moscow on May 27-29 to represent the Kingdom at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues. The meeting, which holds particular significance in the field of security, is attended by heads and senior officials from security and intelligence services representing over 100 countries from the Global South, the East, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Numerous international and regional organizations are also attending, including the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Organized by the Russian Security Council, this meeting has been held regularly since 2010. It serves as a strategic forum for coordination and exchange of views among countries on developing collective mechanisms to address growing global threats and to examine international policies aimed at neutralizing emerging risks, thereby contributing to the consolidation of international peace and security. This event, chaired by the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, was marked by the presence of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and an opening address via videoconference by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who emphasized that the new global security architecture must be fair and equitable and that all countries should be provided with strong guarantees to ensure their own security without compromising the interests and security of others. The Russian president also welcomed the participation of security and intelligence services from Eastern and Southern countries, which represent the majority of the global security system. These countries, he noted, support the principle of fair and equitable sovereignty and promote their own development models. The meeting's agenda also included plenary sessions and several thematic conferences addressing various global security issues, such as the growing threats of terrorism, as evidenced by the emergence of regional strongholds and new hubs of terrorist organizations; the increasing dangers of cybercrime and breaches targeting vital and sensitive state infrastructures; and the transnational intersections and ramifications of organized crime. As part of the event, the Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance stressed that neutralizing growing strategic threats and dangers requires the establishment of a joint and indivisible security infrastructure, with the assistance of national security and intelligence services in close cooperation and coordination with their counterparts in different regions of the world. Hammouchi also noted that fair and equitable cooperation between countries is the key to the success of any security structure aimed at confronting current strategic threats and challenges. "The duty of vigilance underlying our proactive efforts and shared responsibility requires the exchange of information on all identified or potential security threats, as well as their secure and immediate sharing in the interest of our collective security, based on a win-win principle," he said. On the sidelines of this international event, which featured a series of multilateral security-focused meetings, the Moroccan official held bilateral talks with the heads and members of several security and intelligence services from brotherly and friendly nations, including the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation. These meetings focused on numerous issues of common interest and on ways to bolster bilateral cooperation to address emerging risks and threats. This visit highlights the prominent role and active presence of Morocco in the field of international security cooperation. It also reflects the credibility enjoyed by Moroccan security services among their international partners as major players in joint efforts to preserve international security and stability.
