President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues,
We have one issue to discuss from various angles: strengthening counterterrorism measures and ways to improve them.
We have several speakers today, but I would like to ask Alexander Bortnikiov as the head of the relevant agency to take the floor first.
Please, Mr Bortnikov.
