The meeting's participants will analyze the progress of fulfilling the decisions of their previous meeting, discuss the plan of action for 2005, measures to increase interoperability of Russian and NATO forces, naval logistics cooperation, as well as a draft plan of work for anti-missile defense of battleground, RIA Novosti learned from Russia's permanent mission to NATO.
Also on Tuesday, Baluyevsky will attend the meeting of Chiefs of General Staff of the Council of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership.
Its agenda includes military aspects of partnership, current NATO operations and the organization's policy in fighting human trafficking.
US General James Jones, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has said that relations between the Russian and NATO military have deepened.
"Relations between the Russian and NATO military are constantly deepening. This deepening is in different directions, including by development of a program to achieve interoperability between NATO and Russian troops," he told journalists after Monday talks with Baluyevsky in Mons.
In 2005 Russia and NATO will hold joint exercises on strategic air shipments, operations with special action forces, tactical operations on land, as well as in systems and means of communication and prohibition to use certain sea areas, he said.
The parties have achieved a certain progress in discussing joint participation in the anti-terrorist operation "Active Endeavor", which NATO conducts in the Mediterranean, Jones said.
"Today's talks will contribute to creation of forces able to carry out different joint operations," he said.
