Kabul, Apr 29 (IBNS) Afghanistan and Russia have agreed to establish a military-technical cooperation committee to jointly combat international terrorism, media reports said.

The agreement was reached when the Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Acting Afghan Defence Minister Masoom Stanikzai met recently, Khaama Press reported.

The Afghan minister was quoted in the local media as saying, "A number of specific steps and issues have been discussed, such as further training of Afghan servicemen in Russia, the exchange of intelligence, and the creation of a joint committee on military-technical cooperation."

"The meeting was rather successful, amicable. We discussed the fight against international terrorism with the Russian defense minister, we found points of contact and we realized that the absence of stability and security in Afghanistan’s territory may threaten the region with instability," Stanikzai added.
