Deepening Bonds: Rajnath Singh‘s Moscow Visit Strengthens India-Russia Defense Ties.
In a display of the enduring friendship between India and Russia, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday, where the two leaders reaffirmed the vast potential of their strategic partnership.
Speaking to the press, Singh used evocative language to describe the depth of the India-Russia relationship, stating that “the friendship between our countries is higher than the highest mountain and deeper than the deepest ocean.”
The Indian defense minister assured President Putin that India has consistently supported its Russian counterparts and will continue to do so in the future. He also conveyed warm greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During the talks, Singh and Putin discussed a wide range of issues related to bilateral defense cooperation, with both leaders expressing optimism about the future of this collaboration.
“Both leaders expressed that the partnership between both countries holds immense potential, and combined efforts will pave the way for remarkable outcomes,” the Indian defense ministry said in a statement.
The high-level meeting came after Singh co-chaired the 21st session of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Military and Military Cooperation with his Russian counterpart, Andrey Belousov.
The defense minister’s three-day visit to Russia underscores the enduring significance of the India-Russia relationship, which has weathered geopolitical shifts and emerged as a cornerstone of New Delhi’s foreign policy.
The robust discussions between Singh and Vladimir Putin are likely to further strengthen this time-tested bond and pave the way for deeper defense and security cooperation between the two nations.
