INDIA AND RUSSIA HOLD SEVENTH ROUND OF TALKS ON AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN
India and Russia held the seventh round of their special consultations on Afghanistan and Pakistan in New Delhi on Wednesday, October 14.
The meeting was co-chaired by India’s Deputy National Security Adviser Pavan Kapoor and Russia’s Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Aleksandr Venediktov.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs said the two sides discussed issues of mutual interest and their implications for international security. They also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation under their strategic partnership.
Venediktov separately met India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval during his visit.
The ministry did not disclose the specific issues discussed concerning Afghanistan and Pakistan or announce any concrete agreements. The implications of the meeting therefore remain unclear.
