NDTV Expert Panel: What Modi-Putin Summit Can Realistically Deliver
In an NDTV special on Vladimir Putin's India visit, experts outlined the realistic takeaways from the summit. Shishir Priyadarshi of the Chintan Research Foundation highlighted India's massive trade imbalance with Russia, stressing the need to boost exports in pharmaceuticals, textiles and machinery to correct Russia's large rupee surplus. He also underlined the importance of shifting the defence partnership from a buyer-seller model to deeper co-production and co-development.
