Officials said Lavrov’s programme includes meetings with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and other BRICS counterparts, with discussions expected to emphasise defence cooperation, energy supplies and deeper economic engagement that have endured despite Western sanctions.
Since India gained independence, #RussiaIndia ties have grown into a special & privileged strategic partnership.
They are fortified by trust-based personal relations between our Leaders & by the natural complementarity of our economies.#DruzhbaDostipic.twitter.com/UIY3z0zK8T
