Need to keep our own interests going, says Jaishankar on economic ties with Russia — We should keep our own relations going, the interest of the Indian people best served says S Jaishankar

What S Jaishankar said on India-Russia bilateral relations

While addressing an event in Delhi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that India is more concerned about protecting its own interests rather than thinking about that country’s affairs, referring to the country’s growing trade ties with Russia.

Jaishankar said, “Russia’s main economic partner was the Western countries, after the Ukraine conflict that way was closed. Russia is turning towards Asia…Our trade before the Ukraine conflict was around $12-14 billion. Our trade last year was $40 billion.”

“I think we should not be worried about what they are doing with other countries, we should keep our own relations going. The interest of the Indian people best served,” he added.
