MOSCOW, November 16 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will host military exercises with India involving the two countries' special forces in 2006 and 2007, Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Wednesday.
"In 2006-2007, we will certainly conduct military exercises in Russia, involving the two countries' special forces," he said at a news conference after a session of a bilateral commission on military and technical cooperation.
He said the Indra-2005 Indian-Russian military exercises held in mid-October in India had been useful for both countries.
Ivanov said the joint production of certain military equipment for exports would be one of the top-priority directions of bilateral military cooperation and that the issue was high on the session's agenda.
