Enhancing intelligence-sharing mechanism, counter-terrorism, regional peace and stability will be among a host of issues to be discussed when Russia's security council secretary meets national security advisor Shiv Shankar Menon during a two-day visit starting tomorrow.
    
Nikolay Patrushev is coming here on a working visit on February 1-2, which envisages a new round of consultations between the Security Councils of the two countries, a Russian
embassy statement said here today.
    
"The agenda includes exchange of opinions on such urgent problems as fight against international terrorism, illegal production and trafficking of drugs, etc. Tasks and prospects of interaction between special services in the interests of ensuring security of our two countries, regional peace and stability are also a matter of discussion," it said.
    
Terming these meetings as "one of the important components of high-level confidential contacts between Russia and India over the last years", the embassy said Patrushev will be the first head of a foreign Security Council to hold discussion with his new Indian counterpart Menon, who was appointed a week ago.
    
Negotiations are expected to focus on topical issues of regional and international security as well as development of multifaceted Indo-Russian cooperation in bilateral and multilateral formats.
