The growing economic potential of India and Russia is mutually complementary in many respects.

The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between India and Russia signed in October 2000 became a truly historic step. The developments in the first decade of the 21 century confirmed that it was a particularly significant and timely step.

Neither India nor Russia perceives a threat from the strength of the other. Each sees a benefit for itself in the increased political and economic strength of the other.

Restoration of friendship with Russia, our biggest neighbor, is necessary for our peace and economy.

From the country with limited hope to grow your own business and express your own personality, Russia has become the land of significant opportunity.

If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.

India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.

I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.
