Russia Boosts Diplomatic Relations with India
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov are scheduled to visit India, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said following Russian-Indian inter-ministerial consultations in New Delhi on Tuesday. While Manturov’s travel dates remain unclear, Lavrov is set to be in the Indian capital on May 14–15 to attend the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting.
Tehran has formally requested that New Delhi, in its role as BRICS chair, facilitate a consensus regarding the US-Israel conflict with Iran. Notably, Iran and the UAE, both full BRICS members, currently lack diplomatic relations.
India has increased its imports of Russian oil since US President Donald Trump temporarily waived sanctions on Russian crude. “Our Indian friends really consider this period, which began on March 12, as an opportunity to replenish those reserves [of energy resources] that have been depleted,” Rudenko said. “We are talking about spot supplies, on ships that set sail before March 12. Oil is sold at the market price.”
