India Shows Growing Interest in Russia's Northern Sea Route Cooperation, Putin SaysPreviousNext

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that India is showing growing interest in cooperating with Russia on the Northern Sea Route (NSR), an Arctic shipping corridor linking Europe and Asia. Moscow is engaging with several countries, notably India and China, to develop this route within international maritime law amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Arctic. Russian officials describe talks with India as productive, highlighting the NSR's potential as a shorter maritime trade link. Experts emphasize India's strategic interest in Arctic navigation and capacity building for future use.
