Modi-Putin Summit
"Everything that has happened on PM Narendra Modi's Russia visit is exactly what has happened in past summits. So in a sense, there's nothing extraordinary at all about the visit. If it has attracted attention, you mentioned the NATO Summit. So are we supposed to stop our foreign policy interactions because it's NATO's 75th anniversary?" Ambassador Pankaj Saran says on 'The Gist' with StratNews Global Associate Editor Amitabh P. Revi. He has been Ambassador Pankaj Saran India's Former Deputy National Security Adviser. A current member of the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB). An Ex-Envoy to Russia. And is currently Convenor of NatStrat.
PM on Russia-Ukraine Conflict
"Here is a country which has the ability to talk to all parties," Ambassador Saran says. "And to counsel them that they need to de-escalate. They need to return to the negotiating table." On intense international scrutiny of the annual Putin-Modi Summit, the ex-envoy points out, "We have had our land under occupation of the Chinese or by the Pakistanis. And we've seen Western leaders go to Beijing or to Islamabad. (French President) Macron or (German Chancellor) Scholtz or the Americans visiting Beijing in the last one year, when Beijing is sitting on occupied territory in India. Why should India play an extremely risky game of converting a friend into an adversary? I don't see any country in the world doing that. I don't see why we should do it.
India-Russia-China Dynamics
Ambassador Pankaj Saran pertinently asks, "Who has a stake to see a deterioration of the India-Russia relationship? Clearly, the West would like ties to atrophy. To weaken. To somehow get disrupted. But, the other party which is equally interested in this outcome is the Chinese. So you are at this ironical and paradoxical situation. Both Washington and Beijing have, for their own very different reasons, an interest in the weakening of the India- Russia relationship. But, the maintenance of the relationship is vital for both Russia and India
The Former Deputy NSA also discusses:
The dynamic between Russia, India and China.
A spurt in India buying Russian petroleum products.
The next stage of nuclear energy cooperation.
The bilateral trade target of $ 10illion by 2030.
Trade imbalance and payment mechanisms in national currencies.
Connectivity from the Arctic circle, the Vladivostok-Chennai sea corridor, & the INSTC.
Military supplies, spares and atmanirbharta.
Indians tricked into serving in the Russian military in the Ukraine war.
And how Russia sees itself on the global stage when the U.S. is in election mode and there's a possibility of Donald Trump's return.

Its hard to have found a better guest, for that part of the world.
Ambassador’s sitting room is awesome
Thanks to SNG and Amitabh Revi for a substantive discussion with Ambassador Saran on the India-Russia partnership, as seen from India’s perspective. Ambassador Saran certainly brought out the importance of this relationship to India. Surprising to know from him that Russia was the only country to actually set up a nuclear power plant at Kudangkulam, while the other partners like France and the U.S. have not done so yet. Is it the sharing of nuclear reactor technology with India that is the stumbling block, or something else? There have been discussions on U.S. think tanks that despite the U.s-India civil nuclear deal signed several years ago, there has been little progress on setting up those reactors. Who is holding back on it? It would have been interesting to know from Amb Saran.

@@amitabhrevi Thanks for explaining it. Makes sense.
Well said. India is not a disruptive force and if I may add, not a country aspiring to displace USA and create a new world order. And that’s what India has been doing for centuries. - trading with Rome, Arabs and South East Asians. But when the Spanish and Portuguese arrived they wanted exclusivity and when denied they waged war. India doesn’t go around touting slogans like ‘century of humiliation’. We have forgiven all those atrocities committed by the Muslims and other aggressors. Even the one committed by US during the 1971 war. Western powers should reflect profoundly where else can they get such a civilised friend.
Very interesting... Thanks
Excellent interview; clearly outlines the official thinking of GOI on its relationship with Russia. It would be great to see a follow up with a non-government individual to crystal gaze about the impact of PMs Russia visit on the short to medium term trajectory of India's relationship with the US and the West (who I imagine, despite their newly acquired constraints, would react or atleast want to). Any impact on the hyped up deals announced during PMs visit to Washington? How enthusiastic will India be on the Indo-Pacific (and the QUAD in particular) going forward?

@@amitabhrevi A quote attributed to Churchill; “Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” If one of the other possibilities, detrimental to India, succeeds; the Americans will try to do a "Home Run" with it. And with that, we'll return to the phase of "estranged democracies" that prevailed during the entire time span of the Cold War! Eagerly awaiting any follow up you guys can put together. Thanks!
US imposed sanctions and it did hard work to lift those sanctions 😂😂
China is happy to see good relation between India and Russia.
Nothing strategic just business tour
But NATO is war monger , see how they abandoning Hungerian PM who sincerely trying negotiation. I feel NATO must be exploring other theater to divert Ukraine Russian war attention. There were multiple occasions when war could have staopped like Istanbul but they prevented each one .
