Indo-Russian Friendship Celebration felicitates progressive development of the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia. These relations are unique, confiding and mutually beneficial by nature, encompassing all possible areas of cooperation.
The Indo-Russian strategic partnership has been built traditionally on five major components: politics, defence, civil nuclear energy, anti-terrorism co-operation and space. A sixth aspect of economic growth has arisen, as the two countries set a target of growth in bilateral trade from about USD 9.4 billion in 2017 to USD 30 billion in 2025. The two countries are looking to develop a free trade agreement in order to achieve this goal.
