The two countries also decided to hold the first tri-Services exercises, named ‘’Indra-2017’’, this year and start joint manufacturing of frigates, adding on to the co-production of Kamov-226 military helicopters.
These decisions were taken at the wide-ranging talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin here which covered a range of issues, including terrorism and increasing trade and investment.
Addressing the media jointly with Putin after the talks, Modi said the relations between India and Russia have been unwavering, based on “mutual love, respect and strong trust”.
“From culture to security, our relations have been at par... We speak in one language,” he added.
He said the two leaders had decided to speed up the bilateral cooperation in all fields, for which an ‘’Action Plan’’ has been devised.
Noting that India and Russia were celebrating the 70th anniversary of their relations, Modi said there has been no impact on the ties in all these decades.
