Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow was ‘interested’ in India and China being friends and was being ‘helpful’ in ironing out differences.
Lavrov went on to defend his country’s actions in Ukraine saying the West was trying to prop up Ukraine and commitments of not expanding the US-led NATO were not pondered upon.
Lavrov was speaking at the Raisina Dialogue organised by the Observer Research Foundation and the ministry of external affairs here on Thursday.
Replying to a question on rising Russia-China relations, he said “Russia has excellent relations with China and India. With India an official document describes relations as ‘specially privileged strategic partnership”.
