MOSCOW, February 27. /TASS/: Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev arrived in Algeria on a visit on Monday.
He is set to "hold a number of meetings on the issues of Russia-Algerian security cooperation," the Security Council said.
The Russian Security Council secretary maintains regular communication with counterparts from other countries regarding security issues. That includes regular talks with the representatives of Algeria.
For example, Russia and Algeria held security consultations in March 2022 in Moscow, and Patrushev met with that country’s Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra in the Russian capital in April. The Russian Security Council secretary last visited Algeria in January 2018.
Russia and Algeria established diplomatic relations in March 1962 and have maintained them for almost 61 years. The two countries started a strategic dialogue in 2016, which allows them to regularly exchange opinions on the most pressing issues of international security.
