First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov and Minister of External Affairs of the Republic of India Subrahmanyam Jaishankar held the 26th meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Indian Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation in Moscow.

Over the past five years, the volume of trade between Russia and India has grown almost sevenfold. India is one of Russia's three largest foreign trade partners.

"Along with the increase in trade volumes, its range is also expanding. In addition to traditional and stable supplies of energy resources to India, Russian exports include mineral fertilizers, metallurgy and forestry products, diamonds, energy equipment and food. In turn, our country imports agricultural products, medicines and substances, light industry goods, industrial raw materials, equipment and components from India," Denis Manturov noted.

The First Deputy Prime Minister stressed the importance of further work on preparing a free trade agreement between the EAEU and India, as well as ensuring uninterrupted mutual settlements between the two countries.

In addition, the meeting discussed cooperation in the chemical industry, metallurgy, transport engineering and digital technologies. Particular attention was paid to cooperation in the energy sector. The First Deputy Prime Minister noted the potential for expanding Russian LNG supplies to India.

Another traditional area of Russian-Indian relations is humanitarian cooperation. Positive dynamics of interaction in the field of education are observed. Cultural interaction continues, including in the field of cinematography. It is planned that the Russian-Indian film "Pearl" will be released in the fall of 2025.

"Against the backdrop of active intercultural exchange, the mutual tourist flow is steadily increasing. The growing interest in Russia on the part of Indian citizens is especially noteworthy. In the first half of this year, the number of Indian tourists visiting our country increased by a quarter," Denis Manturov noted.

Speaking about cooperation in the media, the First Deputy Prime Minister spoke about the plans of the Russia Today media holding to launch the RT India television channel in New Delhi by the end of the year.

Following the meeting, the First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and the Minister of External Affairs of India signed the final protocol of the 26th meeting of the Russian-Indian IGC.

Marat Khusnullin: Road network renewal programs allow for the accelerated integration of Donbass and Novorossiya into the all-Russian space.

Restoration of the roads of the reunited regions stimulates the development of their economic ties with each other and with other entities, tourist routes, thereby contributing to the formation of a common road framework of the country. Work on the sites is carried out in accordance with the developed and approved programs. For example, the state company "Avtodor" has completed 80% of the work planned for the current year on the highways in the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"All work in the reunited regions is carried out according to programs that allow us to clearly formulate plans, monitor the pace of their implementation and promptly adjust them so that residents, tourists and businesses receive updated infrastructure as quickly as possible. For example, Avtodor in the Zaporizhia region has fulfilled the plan for laying asphalt concrete by 85%, on the roads of the Kherson region – by more than 95%, and in the LPR and DPR – on 70% of the highways. In parallel, work is underway on 11 artificial structures in four regions," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

In total, the state company will restore more than 700 km of highways in Donbass and Novorossiya this year.

"Asphalt laying has already been completed on many road sections. However, we are not slowing down; at certain sites, the construction of sidewalks, bus stops, barrier fencing, and restoration of artificial structures is already in full swing. At the peak, we have more than 1.5 thousand people involved. Our main task is to restore the road infrastructure to key settlements in Donbass and Novorossiya," said Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor.
