NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi will meet
Russian President Vladimir Putin and come face to face with Chinese President
Xi Jinping next week in Uzbekistan at the SCO summit, amid G7 efforts to impose
a cap on the price of Russian oil, although it’s not clear yet if he will have
a structured bilateral meeting with either of the two leaders, reports Sachin
Parashar.
“Along with energy, India has
also made significant investments in Russian Far East in the areas of pharma
and diamonds,” he said, adding Russia can become a key partner for the Indian
steel industry through supply of coking coal. “We can also have good
cooperation in the mobility of talent. Indian talent has contributed to the
development of many developed regions of the world. I believe the talent and
professionalism of Indians can bring about rapid development in Russian Far
East,” he saida.
