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.
- Trade
between 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.
