New Delhi, Aug.28 : Chief of Army Staff, General J J Singh, will visit Russia next month.
General Singh would be in Russia from September 15 to 19, and is expected to take up defence and security issues with his Russian counterpart.
His visit to Moscow will follow tours of that country by National Security Adviser M K Narayanan and two other defence delegations.
The Army Chief has said that his tour to Moscow is aimed at witnessing the first ever major Indo-Russian anti terrorism exercises, but sources said the issue of price escalation of the Russian defence supplies may also figure in his talks with the Russian military establishment.
Crack Indian paratroopers will fly to Russia to carry out search and destroy exercises in the Pskov region in northwestern Russia from September 16 to 18.
Indra-2007, as the wargame has been codenamed, will be held in the headquarters of Russia's elite airborne division, situated only a few dozen kilometres from the enlarged NATO borders of Estonia and Lithuania.
