High-level meetings also focused on removing trade barriers, ensuring the safety of Indian migrant workers in Russia, and boosting Indian exports of pharmaceuticals, textiles, and agricultural goods. The visit reinforces the long-standing India-Russia partnership while signalling New Delhi’s intent to maintain strategic autonomy in its foreign and economic policy.
