RUSSIA-INDIA 2 LAST

Given the format of the Kremlin power structure, Singh is
expected to hold talks with the Russian strongman, Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin on the concrete economic issues,
including on some possible joint projects in pharmaceuticals
and conventional energy, the sources here said.

On December 7, the Indian Prime Minister will also attend
the closing ceremony of the 'Year of India in Russia' at a
gala show being organised in the new hall of Bolshoi Theatre.
The meeting of the CEOs Council would be the main event
on the sidelines of the Prime Minister's Moscow visit,
indicating the two countries' resolve to promote
business-to-business ties.
The Indo-Russian CEOs' Council is co-chaired by Reliance
Industries Limited (RIL)'s Mukesh Ambani and Russian business
conglomerate AFK Sistema's Vladimir Evtushenkov.
Ahead of Singh's visit, Russian Trade and Industry
Chamber has set up an Indo-Russian Joint Business Council.
"India is among the leading political and economic
partners of Russia. It is extremely important that the Russian
business should be involved in benefiting from India's
potential in trade relations," Vice President of the Russian
Chamber, Georgy Petrov, said. PTI VS
