MOSCOW, JULY 1. India and Russia expressed satisfaction with the progress in bilateral cooperation in all fields during the talks between the visiting National Security Adviser, J. N. Dixit, and the Russian Security Council chief, Igor Ivanov.

The talks focussed on global security and stability, besides exchange of views on Afghanistan, Iraq and West Asia.

The two countries, sharing "identical or very close positions on these and most other international issues", vowed to strengthen their cooperation.

Mr. Dixit also met Russia's atomic energy chief, Alexander Rumyantsev. The Russian side said they discussed cooperation in the field and the progress in the construction of the Kudankulam nuclear station.

Mr. Dixit's visit comes a week after the Foreign Secretary, Shashank's visit here for a meeting of the Indo-Russian Joint Group on Global Challenges.
