Russia and India have made significant progress in discussions on jointly producing military equipment, says Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov after talks with Indian EAM Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Lavrov emphasizes the strategic nature of this cooperation, enhancing security in the Eurasian continent. India's diversification of military suppliers is respected, with support for local manufacturing. President Putin is set to meet Jaishankar, with expectations for a Modi-Putin meeting next year. Discussions also covered Ukraine, Gaza conflicts, and bilateral trade. India, a key economic partner for Russia amid Western sanctions, anticipates trade exceeding $50 billion this year.
