New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

India and Russia will discuss the overall global situation amid the war in Ukraine as well as specific regional concerns, the government said in a statement today as Foreign Minister J Jaishankar met his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow today.<\/p>\n

“India strongly reiterates the return to dialogue,” Mr Jaishankar said today on the Ukraine-Russia war.<\/p>\n

“Where the international situation is concerned, the last few years of the Covid pandemic, financial pressures and trade difficulties; these have taken a toll on the global economy. We are now seeing the consequences of the Ukraine conflict on top of that,” Mr Jaishankar said.<\/p>\n

“There are also the more perennial issues of terrorism and climate change, both of which have a disruptive impact on progress and prosperity. Our talks will address the overall global situation as well as specific regional concerns,” the Foreign Minister said.<\/p>\n

India and Russia have been maintaining strong and continuing contacts at various levels. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Vladimir Putin met most recently in Samarkand in September.<\/p>\n

India has also been buying oil from Russia amid the war in Ukraine, much to the chagrin of the West, which has severed trade ties with Russia.<\/p>\n

“India and Russia engage each other in an increasingly multi-polar and re-balanced world. We do so as two polities who have had an exceptionally steady and time-tested relationship,” Mr Jaishankar said.<\/p>\n

🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺 #Jaishankar<\/a>: I believe this is the fifth time we are meeting this year. I think that speaks of our long term partnership and the importance that we attach to each other. And I am really glad to be here today in #Moscow<\/a> to carry forward this dialogue. https:\/\/t.co\/TTiHjl4q1s<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/0CLMuxnDJM<\/a><\/p>\n

On a question by a reporter regarding India’s likely response to calls by the West to cap Russian oil purchases, Mr Jaishankar said there is indeed a stress on the energy markets due to a combination of factors.<\/p>\n

“As the third-largest consumer of oil and gas and where incomes are not very high, we need to look for affordable sources, so the India-Russia relationship works to our advantage. We will keep it going,” the Foreign Minister said.<\/p>\n

Mr Jaishankar’s Moscow visit with a huge delegation across economic ministries indicates India and Russia will expand trade in a big way. This also stabilises Russia economically and gives India cheap commodities – fuel and fertiliser.<\/p>\n

By helping to prop up Russia economically, India appears to be doing its part to ensure that Russia has an economic lifeline and is not pushed into a corner as it is presently in Ukraine. This may pave the way for India having a larger role in the future towards any resolution in this crisis.<\/p>\n
