MOSCOW, June 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin called Tuesday for increased cooperation with both India and China.
Putin said Russia should build relations with its energy-hungry Far East neighbor - the world's second largest oil consumer - with account for both countries' rapid development.
"It is fundamentally important that our bilateral partnership...takes into account the dynamic development of both Russia and China itself, and accordingly changes for our countries both in terms of the region and the world in general," he said.
Speaking of India - a long-time importer of Russia and Soviet arms - Putin called for cooperation to increase significantly in many spheres, including nuclear energy.
