With the level of bilateral trade and investment between India and Russia remaining below its potential, President Pranab Mukherjee has called upon the two countries to make concerted efforts to take their two-way trade to $20 billion by 2015.
Mukherjee, who met a parliamentary delegation from the Russian Federation on February 25, said that India-Russia ties were strong in diverse areas such as energy, defence, space, trade and economics, science and technology, culture and people-to-people ties, but the level of bilateral trade and investment, however, remained below potential.
He stated that Russia is a key partner and friend of India for many decades and that the India-Russia privileged strategic partnership was a unique and multi-dimensional relationship, characterized by stability and warmth. By adding further he said, that Russia remains a key priority for India's foreign policy and the India-Russia Strategic Partnership reflects its remarkable convergence of interests in bilateral spheres as well as on the global stage.
He said, ‘India would like to see greater parliamentary exchanges between our parliaments at all levels. Frequent exchanges between the federal legislatures of both the countries can add another dimension to our vibrant and dynamic relationship.’ Frequent exchanges between the federal legislatures of both the countries can add another dimension to our vibrant and dynamic relationship.
Even, the leader of the Russian parliamentary delegation, Matvienko said that India would remain a reliable and true friend of Russia, and the bilateral relations between these two countries had stood the test of time.
