At President Vladimir Putin’s request, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Moscow’s Atom Centre in a major step to deepen Indo-Russian nuclear energy cooperation. Following the announcement of intentions to build six more nuclear power units in India, Rosatom, the state nuclear enterprise of Russia, made this visit.
The visit by Prime Minister Modi highlights the strategic alliance between Russia and India, especially in the energy industry. Modi talked about the prospects for more cooperation and developments in nuclear technology while giving a tour of the Atom Centre. India’s dedication to increasing its nuclear energy capacity was emphasised throughout the visit, which is essential for supplying the nation’s increasing energy needs and lowering its carbon footprint.
The construction of six additional nuclear facilities by Rosatom in India is a component of a larger agreement meant to strengthen bilateral nuclear energy cooperation.
With nuclear energy cooperation playing a critical role in determining the future of energy security and sustainable development for both countries, this strategic collaboration ushered in a new era in Indo-Russian relations.
