PM and Putin to discuss a big challenge on 6th December
Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting India on 6 December amid increasing challenges at the international level. It is reported that the President will return only after the 21st India-Russia Annual Summit on 6 December.
It is also an opportunity for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepen ties with Russia, as Putin is visiting India for bilateral talks with a country's head of state after the COVID-19 transition period. Most interestingly, Putin's visit comes after the conclusion of the visit of Russian National Security Adviser Nikolai Patrushev to Pakistan. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how much India and Russia can make their relationship more useful for each other in regional and international relations.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi is very optimistic about India's credible and age-old strategic and strategic partnership with Russia. However, right now he is only able to tell the outer boundary of the 21st India-Russia Annual Summit-2021. The information is that there is some blockage between India and Russia regarding the military technical agreement. This agreement will give a new dimension to the credibility, but now it seems less likely to happen in the remaining three days.
One day's journey and all the hopes
The Defense Minister of Russia will arrive in the night of 5-6 December. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will also be there. In the first phase, Russian Defense Minister and Rajnath Singh and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar will have consultations on all issues. This 2+2 dialogue relationship is only with some countries of India. Later in the afternoon, Prime Minister Modi will hold delegation-level talks with the Russian Head of State at the India-Russia Annual Summit. The two leaders will hold talks on regional and international issues. Bilateral discussions will be held on all issues of mutual interest.
In this, increasing defense, nuclear technology, mutual trade, science and technology are expected to be prominent. India is taking its anti-missile system from Russia, overcoming all the obstacles of America. Its supply will start in 2022. The delivery of this system has been affecting both China and Pakistan. Both countries are citing this for disturbing the military balance in the region and promoting an arms race. Apart from this, there is also the issue of some sensitive agreements in military matters between India and Russia. It remains to be seen how far the two countries can walk on the path of cooperation.
There are challenges at the regional and international level as well.
The nature of relations between Russia and India affects many factors at the regional and international level. For example, Russia has good relations with China, Syria, Iran, Turkey. There is also a border problem with China, but there is also the equation of the Russian President with Xi Jinping. Through China, Russia has started fixing relations with Pakistan. Recently Pakistan's NSA Mohd. Russia's national security adviser was there at the invitation of Yusuf and there have been discussions on improving relations in all areas. India is also eyeing this visit of Patrushev.
A chemistry is being built between Pakistan, China and Russia regarding Afghanistan. India is also guessing its effect. The same situation is the situation of India's tensions with China from eastern Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh. India and Russia have a bilateral Strategic Strategic Partnership. Together with China, the two countries form the Trilateral Forum (Russia-India-China). Recently, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has participated in it. There is also a BRICS Forum and India is a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
Diplomacy and foreign policy experts say that due to the long-standing chemistry between India and Russia, there have been respectable solutions to the challenges faced by Pakistan and China. Here, a change is being seen in this equation for a few years. In such a situation, it has to be seen how far both India and Russia can progress in this relationship balance. This balance may also address some of India's concerns about Afghanistan. There are many important issues ranging from international issues, India's position in the United Nations Security Council. It is believed that the issue of terrorism is also important in this episode and talks will be held with Putin on all these issues.
America, Israel, Europe, Russia and India
At the international level, during the time of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the beginning of keeping the relationship with America warm. Former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao had emphasized on the beginning of relations with Israel. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh took forward relations with the US and Israel. He took the relationship with America to a new dimension during his tenure. with Europe
The equation of the relationship was kept balanced and in the midst of all this, relations with Russia in other areas including defense had started to waver.
Now India has a challenge to balance the relationship with Russia by engaging America, Israel, Europe. Given the background of US President Joe Biden's foreign policy, bilateral relations, it remains to be seen how easy Prime Minister Narendra Modi can make this difficult challenge easy.
There will be some agreements and agreements
Officials of both the countries have been discussing for the last few months about the 21st India-Russia Annual Dialogue Summit. Defense, foreign, political issues are being discussed. In the meantime, the basis for certain agreements and agreements has been prepared.
Russia has been a reliable ally in many fields including defence, science and technology, nuclear energy, space. Many agreements are expected to be agreed in this regard. It is believed that some agreements and MoUs will be signed in the presence of both the summit leaders. The two leaders can also issue a joint statement on the mutual consensus and point of view.
only one big question
An old trusted partner friend of India is only coming on a day trip. This information received from sources is quite startling. Even the experts of diplomatic and diplomatic relations do not want to answer after hearing this. All he says is that the tradition of ongoing relations with Russia is intact. This is the 21st Annual Summit. We must not forget this.
There is another logic behind this that Vladimir Putin has been the President of Russia for a long time. He has visited India several times in the last tenure.
On the other hand, a former Foreign Service official who understands India-Russia relations says that it is necessary to have heads of state at the annual summit. Last year it could not happen due to Kovid-19 infection.
The President is coming with the aim of maintaining the depth of the relationship with its formality. There is little chance of any major agreement during this period.
