The XVI India–Russia Business Dialogue is a key event aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership between the two nations. For 78 years, India and Russia have maintained a special relationship built on trust, mutual support, and shared economic interests.

The forum brings together representatives of business, government, and the expert community to discuss new avenues of cooperation in investment, industry, energy, innovation, pharmaceuticals, and high technology.

Particular attention is given to joint projects in digitalization, the green economy, infrastructure, and education — areas that define the future of economic development for both countries.

The India–Russia Business Dialogue serves not only as a platform for the exchange of ideas but also as a tool for practical collaboration, where genuine partnerships and initiatives are born to further strengthen the ties between our nations.
