Amid Trump’s Tariffs Jaishankar Encourages Russian Companies To Engage ‘More Intensively’ With India

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said that India-Russia bilateral trade has grown rapidly over the last four years, but a major trade imbalance has accompanied this growth, in his opening remarks at the 26th session of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC) in Moscow.“Over the last four years, Excellency, our bilateral trade in goods has increased, as you have noted, more than five-fold from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25 and it continues to grow,” Jaishankar said. “However, a major trade imbalance has accompanied the growth; it has increased from USD 6.6 billion to USD 58.9 billion which is about nine times. So we need to address that urgently.” n18oc_indian18o_worldNews18 Mobile App – https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
