Here’s What the India-Russia Bilateral Agreements Outline

“We are consistently and confidently developing privileged strategic partnership between India and Russia”, Putin said. And, there is genuine goodwill and mutual respect between our people.

“We have laid the foundation of the future character of this strategic partnership”, he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi enter a hall during a meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow on December 23, 2015. This is welcome. While the prime minister’s “stopover diplomacy” is likely to overshadow his most recent foreign visit, the gains made in Russian Federation are substantive, in contrast to the ones of perception in Lahore.

It is expected that both countries will seal a number of defence deals as well.

Modi carefully and deliberately emphasised that a landmark defence pact signed today for the joint manufacture of 200 Russian attack helicopters was “rightly with our most important defence partner”.

Modi is seeking to expand the country’s nuclear energy use to meet the rising energy needs of the coal-dependent nation amid global warming risks, with a programme for at least 12 new reactors.

Putin confirmed that the second unit of the Russian-built Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India will become operational soon, and that construction of the facility’s third and fourth units will begin shortly after. The agreement today will increase Indian manufacturing content in these reactors. The bloc ratified a resolution on starting its expansion procedures of granting India and Pakistan full membership of the organization at its summer summit in Ufa, capital of Russia’s Bashkortostan Republic.

The prime minister said he and the Russian president were “moving creatively in expanding our economic relations”. Putin said India and Russian Federation were already successfully producing supersonic, ship-based Brahmos missiles which would be soon delivered to the Indian navy. “The page contains Gandhiji’s handwritten notes”, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. The central fact of American power is Washington’s growing unwillingness to risk the lives of its soldiers in distant wars, the outcome of a public that has exhausted of worldwide commitments. We have just had an excellent meeting of CEO Forum.

At the government level, the two nations have collaborated in numerous projects.

“The world must unite and combat terror without distinguishing between terror groups and target countries”, he said, adding both India and Russian Federation “are one in our belief that world must unite against terrorism”.

“We are working towards guaranteeing most ideal framework in India… on account of endeavors of our administration the economy has seen supported development”, he said, including “We are resolved to guarantee a steady and straightforward tax assessment administration”.
