Dec 03, 2025 India-Russia Summit: Major Push on Trade, Connectivity, Eurasia FTA According to senior officials in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the 23rd India–Russia Summit will place “unprecedented emphasis” on strengthening the economic architecture of the partnership at a time when global supply chains, energy markets and geopolitical alignments are in flux. Officials noted that while India–Russia trade has expanded significantly in recent years, driven largely by energy purchases, the structure of trade remains “highly imbalanced” in Russia’s favour. India aims to correct this by expanding exports across a wide basket of goods. “We have identified pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food-processing, marine products and several categories of consumer goods as priority sectors for expanding exports,” a senior MEA official said. Indian exporters of processed food, engineering goods, textiles and speciality chemicals are also being prepared for deeper engagement with Russian and Eurasian markets.
