Russia is developing “privileged strategic partnership” with India, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.

Lavrov said at an event that Russia is actively expanding ties with countries like China, India, Iran, North Korea and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, the state-run TASS news agency reported on Monday.

“We prioritize boosting ties with the majority of global states,” he said at a meeting of the board of trustees of the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund.

“The relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation with the People’s Republic of China boast an unprecedented level of mutual trust. Particularly privileged strategic partnership is developing with India,” the top Russian diplomat said.
