On November 6, Russia and India discussed the possibility of building a pipeline system for hydrocarbons between the two countries, said the Russian energy ministry .
India – Russia Partnership:-
- The bedrock of India Russian partnership has been energy oil
, nuclear energy and supply of defence equipment. - More than 60% of India’s defence arsenal is comprised of supplies from Russia. There is immense untapped potential to further expand cooperation in these areas.
- In the field of defense, the relationship needs to evolve rapidly from a buyer-supplier partnership to one of technology transfer and joint production. This has already started happening but it needs to be given a strong impetus.
- Both India and Russia have identical positions on most regional and international issues. They are strategic allies and partners in the true sense of the word.
- Tradebetween our two countries has been the weakest point of the relationship. It is imperative for the Indian private sector to actively engage itself with strengthening economic and commercial ties.
- Joint ventures for manufacture of drugs and pharmaceuticals need to be established expeditiously. Information deficit about opportunities available in the two countries needs to be reduced on a priority basis.
