The talks were part of regular high level consultations between India and Russia.
The two sides discussed issues of mutual bilateral, regional and global interest, with a special focus on security and defense cooperation between both sides.
They noted with satisfaction the ongoing cooperation between them in meeting threats to their national security, particularly those emanating from terrorism in their respective regions, and unequivocally reaffirmed their intention to continue to work together to confront these challenges, the Ministry of External Affairs said in its release.
NSA and the Secretary of the Russian Security Council noted that the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia was a great asset for both countries, and a factor of peace and stability in the region and the world. They agreed to further strengthen this partnership in all areas, the MEA said.
