Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is scheduled to arrive in India on April 5 for a two-day visit. The visit takes place against the backdrop of growing Russian messaging that it stands firm with the military junta in Myanmar and serious Indian concerns about the future of Afghanistan, which New Delhi has floundered in shaping.
According to a statement by the Russian Embassy here in New Delhi (as quoted by NDTV), during Lavrov’s visit, “[t]he heads of the foreign affairs agencies will discuss the current state of bilateral relations, the preparation of the upcoming high-level meeting this year, including cooperation in the fight against the pandemic, will consider key topics on the regional, global agenda, assess approaches to the interaction between Russia and India on the international arena, including at the UN, [and] BRICS.”
