Russian Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, who is the
co-chairman of the inter-governmental commission said, "some
extra measures," have been taken to eliminate problems, in an
apparent reference to delay in delivery of the Gorshkov and
nuclear powered Nerpa submarine.

The Russian Minster said, unlike ties with other
countries, Indo-Russian defence ties related to hi-technology.

"Our cooperation has confidently moved from
buyer-seller relationship to joint research, development and
production of hi-tech weapon systems and platforms," he said.

Describing his discussions and meetings with Kremlin
top brass as "constructive, free and frank," Antony said that
the two countries now had better appreciation of each others
position on various issues.

"Both sides have identified a wide range of areas for
future cooperation, including joint research, development and
production of defence equipment and systems," the Indian
Defence Minister said. PTI VS
