Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday with the goal of securing what would be his nation’s biggest weapons deal with Russian Federation since 2001, strengthening military ties dating back to the Soviet era.
Sharing concern over terrorism, the two sides pressed for joint fight against the global menace “without selectivity and double standards”, said a joint statement issued after the talks between the two leaders.
The two countries also signed an MoU on cooperation in the field of broadcasting and in the field of investment cooperation in the Russian far east.
India and Russia signed 16 agreements, including manufacturing of Kamov 226 helicopters and Russian-designed nuclear reactors in India, even as Moscow affirmed its strong support for India’s UN Security Council membership bid. Now, for the first time, private deals were being struck in front of leaders from the two countries, who egged on the signatories with claps. “Last year trade between our countries was less than $10 billion”.
Putin, in his opening remarks, said, “I am pleased to note, and I am happy to do that, that we are consistently and confidently developing the privileged strategic partnership between India and Russian Federation”.
Prime Minister Modi also said that from the cooperation between the two nations was moving ahead from hydrocarbons “to the hardest form of carbon- diamonds”.
Modi said on Twitter that conversation focused on India-Russia ties, calling it “fruitful” and also publishing pictures of the pair exchanging gifts. Modi is on official visit and plans to meet Russian Preside…
He was supposed to step forward and stand at attention for the playing of the national anthems of India and Russian Federation, but he thought he was supposed to inspect the troops and started walking.
“Russia and India have a very strong partnership that the US can only aspire to”, Grevatt said. “Following our last Summit, India has created a special notified zone to facilitate direct trade between the world’s largest uncut diamond exporter, Russia, and India, which processes 90 per cent of the world’s uncut diamond”, he said. “We have a strategic partnership, a true strategic partnership”. Separately, Indian Oil Corporation Limited and Oil India Limited said they had signed a memorandum with Rosneft, which paves the way for acquisition of a stake in Taas-Yuriakh oil assets in East Siberia.
