Anything relating to Russia now especially Russia- India relations, I think the Armenia case should have been mentioned. How Russia completely failed to protect Armenia, which has now joined ICC and embraced good relations with France and USA. India has also moved swift to somehow leverage this gap now created. Armenia may be a small country, but can be strategically important for India vis-a-vis relations with Russia.

When Putin was asked about his absence at G20 in India, he said that he didn't wish to embarrass friends. Recently, the G20 sherpa made a revelation that PM Modi decided to leave G20 if a joint declaration wasn't passed. Did we take the NDLD more seriously than it should have been taken. Brazil will decide.

A balancing act and diplomatic tightrope was full on display during the Indian PM's visit to Russia. The optics of the Modi-putin bonhomie triggered outrage in the west. While europe may be active listeners, Washington caught in a presidential poll season is not amused. The Indian side called for ceasefire and toed global south's expectations for peace. The ultimate takeaway from this visit is that New Delhi-Moscow ties remain on an even keel and stood the test of time but India needs to convince the West to see reason in strategic autonomy and choices. It must see India's stance on Ukraine conflict as an endorsement of its own national interests rather than endorsing Putin or his political system.

@ritika5363 19 күн бұрын

India is called non aligned as it didn't side with one country to play on another country. It didn't become the tool , pawn or battleground for cold war between the two powers like Vietnam War, Korean War, pakistan in Afghan soviet war etc. It did have soft corner for USSR due to tilt towards socialism and also due to non interference policy of USSR in terms of Indo Pak unlike USA who threatened India vis a vis pakistan. At the same time, we didn't go against USA on behalf of USSR unless usa's attack on 1971 happened.
