The year 2012 is an anniversary year for both countries: 65 years ago Russia and India established diplomatic relations.

The trade and economic cooperation is actively developing. In January-October 2012 the bilateral trade increased by 30 percent against the same period last year. The countries are in close cooperation within the UN, G20, BRICS, SCO, RIC, EAS and other international forums.
