"I am glad that a number of agreements, contracts, protocols on small arms and military cooperation have been signed," Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh commented on Twitter on the results of a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in New Delhi on Monday.
The Minister called the talks with his colleague from the Russian Federation productive, fruitful and meaningful. "India values its special and privileged strategic partnership with Russia," Singh said. He expressed hope that cooperation between India and Russia will bring peace and stability to the entire region.
The conversation about the interaction between Moscow and New Delhi continued at the 20th meeting of the Russian-Indian intergovernmental commission on military-technical cooperation. "India is one of Russia's key partners in the defense sector, and bilateral relations are of a particularly privileged strategic nature," Sergei Shoigu said there. "The unprecedented level of trust between our countries is evidenced by the intensity and depth of military-technical cooperation, which is reaching a new qualitative level every year."
His Indian counterpart, in turn, also noted the depth of the partnership between the two countries.
