Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov began meetings with India's leaders in New Delhi after seeing his Chinese counterpart earlier in the week, as Moscow tries to keep the Asian powers on its side amid Western sanctions
Lavrov's mission to shore up support from a country Moscow has long-regarded as a friend comes a day after senior U.S. and British officials held talks in New Delhi to persuade the Indian government to avoid undermining sanctions imposed after Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.
"We continue to implement projects in the areas of energy, science and technology, outer space, pharmaceutical industry." "India, as you are aware, has always been in favour of resolving differences and disputes with dialogue and diplomacy," he said. Speaking in the Indian capital on Thursday, U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics, Daleep Singh said Washington would not set any "red line" for India on its energy imports from Russia but did not want to see a "rapid acceleration" in purchases.
