PM-ECONOMY 2LST

Outlining cooperation between both the countries in
pharmaceutical and medicine sector, Singh said, "I sincerely
hope that Russia and India can explore avenues of cooperation
whereby Indian pharmaceutical concerns can help to expand the
quality health-care in particular in the supply of generic
drugs to the Russian public at affordable costs and prices."

World over, in generic drugs Indian companies have
acquired a name for themselves, the Indian Prime Minister
added.
When asked difficulty in getting Indian visas for
Russian citizens, Singh said," If visas are a problem, I think
the visa regime needs to be liberalised. We will explore all
possibilities to expand cooperation on people-to-people basis.
The Prime Minister said India is in favour of
developing closest possible business and people- to-people
contact between our two countries.
Whatever obstacles exist in the development of these
people-to-people contacts, they should be discussed and
effective remedies should be found. PTI VS
