India, Russia likely to make a strong statement on terrorism during PM visit | India and Russia are likely to make a strong statement against terrorism and the threat posed to Central
Asia and Afghanistan by rising Islamic fundamentalism during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's three-day visit to Moscow between Sunday and Tuesday. Dr. Singh has said
that he hopes to use his trip to the Russian capital to reinforce the India-Russia
Strategic Partnership, as he believes that this is a factor that will ensure both
peace and stability in an evolving International situation. Prime Minister Singh
will be meeting Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin. "The India-Russia partnership is based on the solid foundation of a long-standing
friendship, deep mutual trust and a strong convergence of Interests," Singh said.
Earlier, in an interaction with Russian media here, Singh described "Russia is
a big power and could control the conduct of Pakistan." Both countries are expected
to review the status of their bilateral relationship in key areas of defence,
civil nuclear technology and hydrocarbons. Global and regional issues such as
the recovery of global economy, energy security, climate change , nuclear disarmament
and reform of international institutions will also feature in the talks in Moscow.
The Indian Prime Minister will also interact with the India-Russia CEOs' Forum,
which is led by Reliance Group Chairman Mukesh Ambani. A meeting with Russian
scholars and intellectuals is also scheduled. The trip concludes on Tuesday. |
