Highlighting the lasting strength of India-Russia ties amid changing global and economic realities, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said that while India’s economic scale and partnership capabilities have transformed significantly over the years, the foundations of friendship and shared interests between the two nations remain unchanged.
The remarks were made as Putin officially launched the India division of Russia's state-funded television network Russia Today in the national capital, today.
Addressing the gathering during the launch, Putin said: “India’s economy has changed. India’s capabilities as a partner have changed. But there is one thing left-friendship and mutual interest in the development of our cooperation.”
