Abdellatif Hammouchi strengthens global security ties at Moscow forum
Abdellatif Hammouchi, Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance, is on a working visit to Moscow from May 27 to 29 to attend the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives in Charge of Security Issues. The event brings together leaders and officials from security and intelligence services representing over 100 countries. In his speech at the forum, Hammouchi stressed that addressing the growing strategic threats facing the world today requires building a shared, indivisible security infrastructure. This, he noted, calls for close collaboration between national security and intelligence services and their counterparts globally. On the sidelines of the meeting, Hammouchi held several high-level bilateral talks with officials from security and intelligence agencies of friendly and allied countries, including Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). For context, Hammouchi made his first official visit to Russia in April 2016, where he held discussions at the Kremlin with Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev, then Secretary of the Russian Security Council. Later that year, in December 2016, King Mohammed VI received Patrushev in audience.

NATO buildup of contingents along Russian border concerning, says FM Sergey Lavrov
Moscow, May 28 (UNI) NATO's build-up of its contingents along the Russian border is an issue of significant concern, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday. "We are following with concern the build-up of NATO contingents along the entire line of contact with Russia. "Incidentally, it has lengthened significantly since the admission of formerly neutral Sweden and Finland to the alliance, and it is unclear why they were unhappy with their life in neutral status," Lavrov said at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives in Charge of Security Issues in Moscow. A new round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will be announced soon, Lavrov. "At these talks on May 16 in Istanbul, we insisted on the abolition of all these discriminatory laws and we will continue to do so at the next round of direct talks, which we will announce very soon," Lavrov said. There is hope that Iran and the United States will make progress in nuclear negotiations and the process is moving in the right direction, Lavrov said. "The right to enrichment in the framework of peaceful use of nuclear energy programs is key (in the negotiations between Iran and the United States). "Judging by the comments of the parties, following the results of the next round, there is hope that progress will be achieved and that everything is moving in the right direction," Lavrov said. At the same time, the situation around the Iranian nuclear program remains difficult, the minister added. UNI/SPUTNIK ANV GNK
