The Interdepartmental Commission on countering the financing of terrorism was established to improve coordination of authorities in counter-terrorist activities, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, an order on the commission's creation was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"It's part of overall anti-terrorist activities, because eradication of financing of terrorism requires the efforts of a wide variety of agencies, it is a matter of coordination of the work of these departments. It will be the commission’s responsibility," Peskov told reporters.

He noted that the commission’s composition had not been defined yet and would be presented for consideration in the near future.
