Earlier this week, a meeting of the Working Group on Planning of the Russia-India Intergovernmental Commission on Military and Military-Technical Cooperation was held in New Delhi, where the two sides discussed measures to expand cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed India’s “remarkable success” in the economic, social, scientific and technological spheres, saying the country was “rightfully enjoying high esteem” on the world stage.
In July, Jaishankar met Lavrov in Manila, where the two leaders reviewed various aspects of bilateral relations and exchanged views on the Ukraine conflict and the situation in the Gulf region.
During the meeting, Jaishankar also raised India’s concerns regarding the safety of Indian seafarers in the region.
