the leaders of india and russia are meeting in moscow to discuss a range of bilateral issues — from investment ties and energy cooperation, to defense and trade. prime minister narendra modi's two—day visit comes at the invitation of president putin, to revive an annual summit between the two countries. the last one was held in december 2021, in delhi. for clues on what to expect from the meeting, let's bring in raymond vickery. bilateral trade is nearly doubled last term touching around $65 billion and primarily driven by the fact that india has been buying deeply discounted russian oil in new delhi is defended against its own industry needs. and secured in favour of this, of all the exports and trade, india stood at only about $4 billion and its this trade imbalance that modi hopes to correct by this visit and hoping to explore more opportunities and exploiting

other items and pharmaceuticals and technology and even agriculture. india has had ties of the rush date back to before the cold war period, russia has also been one of the primary defence suppliers as well. it is a relationship that india has refused to give it away from spy criticism from the west repeatedly, india is not open the christmas rush of words were in ukraine and also abstain from voting against russia as of. we are likely to see new delhi again trying to walk the tightrope and on one hand, enhancing its ties with russia and on the other, also not antagonizing the west. turning to france, which is seeing more political uncertainty after parlimentary elections left the country you would hope that he would go to promote peace and prosperity

their defence production and from their perspective, it is being able to sell even more to india, the exports have gone up about 50% since the war in ukraine andi about 50% since the war in ukraine and i think that's what he wants and he wants to hold modi up as a quasi—supporter of what russia is doing it if that doesn't work exactly, isn't going to be in a position to try to contradict russia since there are so dependent for arms and also oil and fertiliser. by by make that will invest $1 billion which by make that will invest $1
