Nikolay Patrushev has discussed shipbuilding collaboration with top security and logistics officials in New Delhi
Russia is prepared to offer India a range of “interesting initiatives” in the maritime sector, including joint shipbuilding and repair clusters, senior Kremlin aide Nikolay Patrushev said during a visit to New Delhi on Monday.
Patrushev, who chairs Russia’s Maritime Board, held talks with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, National Coordinator for Maritime Security Biswajit Dasgupta and Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal.
The discussions focused on bilateral cooperation in the civilian maritime sector, including shipbuilding, port infrastructure, naval logistics, crew training, and ocean exploration, according to the Maritime Board.
The Kremlin aide noted that Moscow can offer New Delhi “interesting initiatives in shipbuilding, including providing existing or developing new designs for fishing, passenger and auxiliary vessels.” Russia has “extensive experience in creating specialized ships,” including icebreakers, where it is “unrivaled,” he added.
