In a resounding display of economic solidarity, the 16th Russia-India Business Dialogue convened over 1,250 stakeholders in Moscow. Backed by the Indian Business Alliance, Business Council for Cooperation with India, local government, and Roscongress Foundation, leaders affirmed ongoing joint pursuits at venues like the June St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Core deliberations targeted trade friction resolution and equilibrium strategies. Topics spanned logistics and finance bolstering, industrial co-development, dependency mitigation on imports, and shared strides in energy, tech, and novel innovations, alongside executing projects in industry, energy, pharma, and digital economies.
Sergei Cheremin, Moscow’s external relations chief, spotlighted the upward trajectory with 50+ collaborative programs last year. The roadmap ahead prioritizes Indian firms’ expansion in Russia, inter-industry ties, pharma-electronics progress, creative industry nurturing, investment flows, and next-gen product streams.
IBA Chairman Sammy Kotwani hailed it as a pragmatic pivot in strategic relations, evidenced by massive turnout and regional zeal, embodying faith in perpetual teamwork.
Roscongress Deputy Director Alexei Valkov lauded the forum’s significance, with India as a steadfast ally, channeling dialogues via international endeavors to cement a prosperous trade alliance.
