fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in both political and economic fears in asia so al gore now puts new delhi's foreign minister firmly in the spotlight that's up next. how low again a welcome to the interview show on our t.v. i'll bring over today my. commission. in terms of regional integration in the east india has long been one of the most important partners for the russian federation those countries are members of the brics group a and there are rumors that india may join the shanghai cooperation organization in the near future so how close are the two regional superpowers to creating

a regional super alliance we will ask this question to the indian minister of external affairs. india is apparently one of the biggest players in eurasia along with russia and china all three aren't of the brig's group of leaving emerging economies but they don't consider you a regional alliance candidate for this role is the shanghai corporation organisation a multipurpose carburation body in eurasia. russia and china are members already but india has observer status there are some issues to be song before it is admitted and one of them is its relations with pakistan which wants to join us to. the question are welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us. first

of all we have read in the news that india has voiced serious concern over the recent launch. attempt of the launch of a. korean satellites and that and the the launch was condemned by the west it was it was condemned by japan south korea do you think that there is a serious risk of an escalation in the region under the korean peninsula after the launch and especially if korea will proceed with the space program and. we believe that the country. must act riva sponsibility and they would have to be conscious on a daily international commitments and the international commitment he has to be made to maintain peace stability in the region and.

in the light of this he would be able to hope that not korea is not going to take any steps which would create instability in the region because we consider this as an extended vision of india india's neighborhood and we hope that meaningful talks. should be immediately initiated by the concerned stakeholders and. i think it should be a it relationship should be a novelist so you sound as if you really are concerned that's true even if every country is concerned or it's not just a political move it is not

a political move. we do not have any mortal lives when we approached this problem. we feel. it is necessary to maintain. the level of confidence amongst members member states how do you hold talks in moscow during this visit with your counterpart sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister and mr young they cheat the firmness of china what is this trilateral for russia india china the rick format is it still relevant when we have the brics and while all the media attention is drive to the brics well each grouping has a significance for its own brics yes it is one of the most

important groupings which are scott the imagination of. the world leaders and recall so has serves its own purpose and india feels that it is extreme to benefit it but it's association with both russia and chain and their big crema their big pharma you know i had very extensive discussions yesterday. for minister level of. foreign minister yang jiechi and we have learned perspective on cantor privy developments across the region we talked about syria we talked about. the freedom and peace of going on enough of sicca. radius of the

hot spot signal. the two other partners and ricks i mean russia and china also are the principal partners in the shadow i cup ration of there's a surely they were actually the founders used to be the shanghai five now it's wider it's becoming wider and wider and we hear rumors that india is really considering joining the shanghai is a true and when we that happen i will be have no observer to the shadow corporate we have been participating as observance in religious meetings of cooperation organization and we have expressed a desire to. fully engage of ourselves in the same day cooperation ugly situation and i think i bishan to

the shanghai cooperation organization he's back on since. i think that we have made lot of it intention and i think. they are considering. association in a full capacity. in the shag carpet when me that happened was your estimation let's say i don't think that it would be reasonable to. spell out. if a time frame within which such decisions in. group click. ok. cooperation organization can take place over any conditions under which you are joining for example may we see a situation that you may join the shanghai there's asian together with pakistan

saluting is is that possible well this is a group where it is not an exclusive club so i think there would be a number of. would be equally interested like india and i think. it is for the group to consider b.d.s. . applications radius. countries which are interested which have shown interest in becoming. engaged in this process. will see india and pakistan are currently making a major step in normalizing their relations and i'm reading in the wires that you are neutrally first salute stating the visa regime which is a grey state a step this mean that your country has attained worth is about pakistan's

commitment to find and punish the people who are who were behind the twenty six eleven attack in mumbai do you work together on that i mean your secret service as your your officers could well be believe that we need to develop cordie of relations. not malays of a relationship really practiced on i think that i loved had initiated and the dialogue had made certain progress. well that's when the brutal attack on him a surtax on mom by which upset the whole equilibrium in that region and we would be sad and we were also very upset and we are still recovering from. the after effects of that attack on by

we are still insisting on pakistan and that it is necessity to make it our own interest again and bring to justice the veins behind that moment i attack that they have taken into custody a few. known names you know what we have or minster has through his dossier or it's has provided in what we consider to be really credible set of documents which will pinpoint the involvement of for example of men like a fish sayed you believe is the last remaining who india considers that as a terrorist and he was the vein behind the moment they attack

and if you leave him and if you still can wait to india that you are investigating into those who have a sponsible for this attack and well that doesn't really convey anything we can. nonetheless we would like our relationship to prove i think there have been a number of. steps which have been taken by both countries to not of malays of relations but the prime ministers of the two could please have met and i had you know i did. foreign minister of the another been a car to delhi and i am myself planning to return the president sometime in the course of this year and i hope these high level resorts and very recently. president.

so that he was on a religious. true of india and he was on his way to where you may have to offer a prayer of sympathetic guy and the prime ministers of india dr manmohan singh in waiting for lunch and then we had a substantial substantive discussion so it's moving and. president zardari and president prime minister gilani have both in whited prime minister manmohan singh to sit pakistan and i think. dr manmohan singh is considering really she just really. has done so all these steps are going further the could reduce the trust

deficit you know which was dividing up the two nations and hopefully i think we should to be moving. in a positive manner. to. understand each other better but this is very positive because you might remember that henry kissinger once said that if a third world war starts it would probably start in kashmir he called it the most dangerous place on earth so today do you think it's not the case anymore well i hope mr kissing that will be publicly wrong. in this country into this. peace and stability you know of region and we do not think that. neither. pakistan and india would be at bridges enough to embark on

any such. misadventure so. the lie are clear the indian minister of external affairs spotlight will be back soon after we take a short break so stay with us. more news today ballance is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to look for a shelter all day. zits

you could leverage surely to mukherjee was the building most sophisticated robots which all included leave the door down anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans in green this is why you should care only . for the true science technology innovation all the news developments from around russia we've got the future covered. live here. forty acres and nineteen ninety three and decided it would be a great place to find a belle the home and retire.

there. are. seven. we have seventy acres and i can convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from. the needs of our growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuels for transportation electricity and manufacturing for problems before we do the right. or not toxic and we did a lot of mis understanding of what. is it you cannot hear unless you come out here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights.

sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew. i'm sorry is a big. welcome back to spotlight i'm not been just a reminder that today we're talking to some of the highly. the indian minister of external affairs. your excellency india has recently become the biggest consumer of iran's or well. under some circumstances joining the

embargo against iran we should the united states is insisting that. india as. a matter of policy and does not. go by. sanctions imposed either of them and they invited nations. sanctions imposed by the significance of the relative patience that. india has civilizational connection systolic of connections and iran i would release and ship has been a baby useful and really productive and really caught here and. well part from. one of the main source of our core rice

a place in the petroleum products in the. so we feel. that every country including iran has the right to develop its of the sources to attack nuclear energy for serious for purposes because india it serve is. conscious of its own energy requirements and energy security is one of the second these which we want every country to enjoy and if iran wants to develop nuclear. power. associated activities i think it is entitled to it but at the same time they should be in touch with the international atomic energy

agency and they should keep them fully informed of what they have planned so what their motives are and so that keeping them with the dark the lot really helpful right but you know. what we get from reading the press here in moscow we get an impression that india in general in the indian government is not worried about the rain in nuclear program as much as the americans are for example the europeans and the american nato partners is that true or you are cautious about every country has its own protests perspective. if other countries have their own perspective in gaze and taken to have its own perspective and from our perspective we look at iran and then we say that. as long as they

are not going to endanger. the any peace instead pretty the region. i think. where we were comfortable let's talk about syria what's india's position towards the situation in syria would you admit any for our foreign intervention intervention say to secure the humanitarian corridor if the coffee and then plan doesn't work well just just about an old bag you know are you talking to. a master of course here in iran i think. the world must. be thankful that. mr kofi annan agreed to be the special envoy and he's looking into bringing about a cease fire and coffee and iran would be

a huge a petition that he has and the track record which he has been he has i think we should. try speace to succeed in syria i think. he would be doing good it's obvious to this region as a whole and the world as a whole if he succeeds in bringing a meaningful cease fire immediately and then working out to a lasting solution. bringing in all the stakeholders to discussion and then consultations well what we've been talking about is of course needs but i started this program by saying that india has been and still is the major partner of russia in the reason so everybody is waiting well india and russia will sign any trade

agreements can you give us a date on that or at least. approximately well you know i'm here to outline the big. meetings and the same climbing there it so happens that this happens to be the sixty fifth year and it would city for. establishing a traumatic relationship it then soviet union and the present russian we have gained enormously in what association with russia. as this will be true in that they will. they contribute in a very big manner for india to become. to become industrialised. and they helped us in our science and technology advancement and they have been helping us in our nuclear power.

establishments and so this association has been one of the most. constructive purpose full mutually beneficial associations that's why this is a privileged relationship you know the guy live relationships that we have information for vision he's privileged relationship. it's my g.'s f. . to continue he has to enlarge this the weight of this and thereby. most of the two countries closer together than ever before but we still don't have the date on this new trade agreement theory that you use the way you think it was asians are and last question india is one of the greatest borisov weaponry on the

planet as far as i know about any five percent of our weaponry bought from or from russia former soviet union from russia now the russia seems to me so losing its positions on the indian market do you think that india will and russia will may come up with a new agreement on our straight in the near future well i think it is one of the most. sustainable. ongoing difference relationship that we have every day the russian federation i think that is going to continue and. as a set that we need to have brought this and we need to do this i think it is my endeavor total. thank you thank you very much mr krishna and just a reminder that my guest today was the indian minister of external affairs and that's it for now for all of us here the spotlight will be back with more for us

and problems on what's going on and outside russia and so then stay with our team and take.
