00:00 First of all, let me say that the relations between Russia and India are consistently
00:07 developing in all the areas, and the main guarantor for that is the policy led by Prime
00:14 Minister Modi, His Excellency, is one of the politicians of the global scale that I was
00:21 talking about previously without giving the names.
00:25 I cannot imagine His Excellency Modi getting intimidated or being forced to take any steps
00:32 or actions that would go against the national interests of India and the people of India,
00:38 and there is pressure against him, I am aware of that.
00:42 We never talked to him about that.
00:44 I can see that, and to be honest with you, I am amazed at his strict position to defend
00:53 the national interests of India.
00:56 We do see that, and let me repeat, the volume of trade is on the rise.
01:01 Last year, it reached $35 billion in one year, and in the first six months of this year,
01:09 it already was $33.5 billion, so the growth will be significant.
01:17 We understand that India is mostly getting preferences due to the discounts on the Russian
01:26 energy resources, and that's the right thing to do, to be honest.
01:30 I would do the same in their spot in this situation.
01:35 They are making good earnings on that.
01:38 Sure, that is not enough.
01:41 Our opportunities are much wider.
01:46 If we take a look at the global rates and the ratings of economy and the GDP by the
01:51 purchasing power parity, India would rank third in the world.
01:56 Russia ranks fifth.
01:57 To remind you, it goes China, United States, India, and Japan, then Russia takes the fifth
02:04 spot.
02:05 These are the major global economies by the purchasing power parity.
