India, Russia commit to a democratic Afghanistan

New Delhi: India and Russia on Friday agreed to hold 2+2 talks involving foreign and defence ministers later this year, adding a new dimension to their steady and multi-dimensional relationship.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held a “warm and productive” conversation in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on the multi sectoral ties between the countries.

“The quality of conversation reflected our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership,” tweeted Jaishankar later.

Both reviewed preparations for bilateral Annual Summit that will take place this year and cooperation at the UN and other fora.

“A new dimension that has been added to our relationship is the agreement to hold 2+2 dialogue of foreign and defence ministers. We feel that we should do this sometime later this year,” Jaishankar said at a joint press conference after the meeting.

He and Lavrov also had an “open” and wide-ranging discussion on regional and global issues such as Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Libya, the Caucasus; ASEAN and the Indo-Pacific.
