Alexei Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, and Pavan Kapoor, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of India to Russia, at the RUSSIA EXPO discussed the development of investment cooperation, including in education, shipbuilding, medicine, industry, and prospects for expanding Russian-Indian inter-university and cultural cooperation.
The head of the Ministry for the Development of the Far East noted that India is Russia's longtime friend, business, cultural and political partner.
