Russia starts work on new national security concept

MOSCOW. Sept 29 (Interfax-AVN) - The Russian Security Council is beginning to draft a new national concept strategy for the country, Russian Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov said.

This work will proceed in compliance with a resolution issued by the Russian president some time ago, Ivanov told a news conference in the Interfax main office on Wednesday.

The last national security concept was adopted in 2000, he said. "We think that it has met most of its objectives," Ivanov said.
