— The Indian — Russian friendship has a long and trusted experience

«The Indian — Russian friendship has a long and trusted experience. Russia strongly supported India in the NSG negotiations on transfer of nuclear supplies. Russia has been closely involved in India’s nuclear power program for decades.

It is no surprise that one of the first agreements signed by India after the NSG negotiations was with Russia. This shows that Indian -Russian nuclear power collaboration will be stronger in future. Russia understands India’s development and energy needs. It supports India’s growth and stability. Indians are reinforced in their confidence in Russia by this agreement.»
