Russia Seeks Deeper Maritime Collaboration with India
(MENAFN) Russia is ready to present India with a variety of “interesting initiatives” in the maritime domain, encompassing joint shipbuilding and repair hubs, senior Kremlin aide Nikolay Patrushev stated during his visit to New Delhi on Monday.
Patrushev, who leads Russia’s Maritime Board, engaged in discussions with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, National Coordinator for Maritime Security Biswajit Dasgupta, and Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal.
The talks centered on bilateral cooperation in the civilian maritime field, covering areas such as ship construction, port facilities, naval logistics, crew training, and oceanic research, according to the Maritime Board.
The Kremlin official highlighted that Moscow can provide New Delhi with “interesting initiatives in shipbuilding, including providing existing or developing new designs for fishing, passenger and auxiliary vessels.”
He emphasized that Russia possesses “extensive experience in creating specialized ships,” notably icebreakers, where it remains “unrivaled.”
“It would be reasonable to consider establishing shipbuilding and ship-repair clusters with Russian participation in such important economic areas as Mumbai or Chennai,” Patrushev suggested.
Additionally, he is slated to visit Goa, where the state-run Goa Shipyard Limited has been constructing Russian-designed frigates under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, aimed at boosting New Delhi’s defense manufacturing self-sufficiency.
These discussions coincided with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hosting his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, in Moscow for high-level economic and strategic talks.
