00:00Let me begin by saying that I welcome this opportunity to meet again and our regular
00:27interactions have been greatly helpful in advancing our bilateral cooperation and also
00:40sharing perspectives on important regional, global and multilateral issues.
00:48This particular occasion, for me, is all the more important as we prepare for President
00:54Putin's visit to India for the 23rd annual summit.
00:59A number of bilateral agreements, initiatives and projects are under discussion in various
01:05fields.
01:06We look forward to the finalization in the coming days.
01:11This will certainly add more substance and texture to our special and privileged strategic
01:16partnership.
01:18We will also be exchanging views on the complex global situation with the openness that has
01:24always characterized our ties.
01:27This includes the Ukraine conflict as also the Middle East and Afghanistan, amongst others.
01:33India supports recent efforts towards establishing peace.
01:37We hope that all parties approach that goal constructively.
01:41An early cessation of the conflict and ensuring of an enduring peace is in the interest of the
01:47international community.
01:49India-Russia ties have long been a factor of stability in international relations.
01:55Its growth and evolution is not only in our mutual interest, but also in that of the world.
02:01I look forward to our discussions this evening.
