Moscow and Paris have agreed to up efforts to share intelligence relating to the Islamic State jihadist group after the countries vowed to cooperate militarily on the issue.
“We have agree to strengthen our exchange of military information, both on the strikes and the location of the different groups (in Syria),” French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said following talks with Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu.
“Our intelligence services will strengthen their already existing ties, which require increased cooperation.”
