The year 2024 was an eventful year for Russia-India relations. In December 2023 minister of external affairs of India Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar spent several days in Moscow and in St Petersburg where, besides his official commitments, he also found the time to meet with the Russian international relations experts and India scholars.
In July 2024 Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Moscow for the annual summit. This was prime minister Modi’s first official visit abroad post re-election. The visit impressed everyone in Russia with its informal start and with a very eventful continuation. The BRICS summit in Kazan took place in October, culminating the year of Russia’s chairmanship of this club, which filled the calendar with hundreds of events on all tracks. The Kazan Declaration states BRICS intention to move forward with many important initiatives aiming at more just international order and economic mechanisms – including BRICS investment platform, commodities exchange, arbitrage – to name a few.
A major Russia-India investment forum was held in Moscow in April 2024. In November Mumbai hosted a representative business forum on the margins of the 25th meeting of the Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade,
Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation, co-chaired by first deputy prime minister Denis Manturov and EAM S. Jaishankar. The interest towards participation in this business forum was so overwhelming, that the organisers had to close registration much ahead of time.
This is just a handful of government-to-government events from the India-Russia agenda of 2024. Besides the official list, there have been numerous educational expeditions, academic exchanges, industry exhibitions, and B2B interactions.
As economic cooperation is taking centre stage in Russia-India relations, such active communication is very important – it helps with actualisation of supply and demand, working out mutually beneficial formats of cooperation and with finding solutions to obstacles.It makes it possible to support the trustful political relations between the two countries with much needed interpersonal links and new business connections
that will take this bilateral partnership forward in the coming years.
This has been captured in a new book India and Russia Enduring trust in a transformational era -- a selection of opinions from Russia and India providing a fresh look at the relationship that is of utmost importance to the people of our two civilisational states, as well as to the world undergoing profound change.
The authors of different backgrounds have shared their views on what works in this relationship, and what is yet to be done.
The book is edited by Dr Lydia Kulik, Head of India studies, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO Senior research fellow, Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences.
