DOHA, July 1. /TASS/. Russia and the Afghan government formed by the Taliban movement have established "very good" coordination on security issues, Russian special presidential envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov told TASS.

The diplomat added that the Russian leadership is "satisfied with the attention that the Afghan authorities are paying to ensuring the security of the Russian embassy."
