Its a known fact that Russia has stood by us on every issue where it matters. For Example- after the Pokhran-II Tests, Russia was one of the few countries who dint not put any sanctions on us.
Mr.Sikri makes a very valid point at the end of the article that this visit wil genertae the much needed interest among the citizens of both countries to take this relationship to another level in the coming years which will see NEW leadership in both the countries.
