Shoigu noted that "Russia and India act as equal partners in world affairs."

“Our countries are supporters of the formation of a multipolar democratic system of international relations based on strict observance of legal norms and based on the central role of the UN,” Shoigu said.

It is noted that he thanked his Indian colleague for his personal participation in the events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, which took place on June 24.

Shoigu and Singh also discussed the issues of military and military-technical cooperation, and also expressed their intention to "further strengthen multifaceted ties in the spirit of a particularly privileged strategic partnership."

At the end of June, Rajnath Singh announced that the Indian side expects to accelerate work on the implementation of current contracts for military-technical cooperation with Russia.
