In an ongoing effort to bolster economic cooperation between India and Russia, the Embassy of India in Moscow hosted a successful B2B Networking Dinner on the sidelines of the BRICS Business Forum. The event brought together over 80 leading industry figures from both nations, creating a platform for productive dialogue and exploring potential trade and investment opportunities.

The dinner, presided over by H.E. Mr. Vinay Kumar, Ambassador of India to the Russian Federation, provided a unique opportunity for business leaders to engage in meaningful discussions about future strategic partnerships. Indian delegates from a wide array of industries, including technology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and infrastructure, mingled with their Russian counterparts, setting the stage for a dynamic exchange of ideas.
In his address, Ambassador Kumar underscored the significance of India-Russia economic ties, particularly in the context of the evolving global landscape and the growing influence of BRICS nations. He highlighted that initiatives like this networking dinner are crucial to expanding bilateral trade, increasing investment flows, and exploring new avenues for cooperation in emerging sectors such as digital technology and renewable energy.

The event is a reflection of India’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its trade relations with Russia, ensuring that businesses from both countries have the tools and networks necessary to thrive in each other’s markets. The delegates expressed enthusiasm for deepening ties, citing the importance of collaboration in sectors like energy, defence, information technology, and healthcare.

Several notable discussions centred on the potential for joint ventures, increased market access, and collaborative innovation. The India-Russia economic partnership has long been built on a foundation of trust and mutual benefit, and this evening’s event has reaffirmed that shared vision for the future.

As part of the continuing efforts to enhance Indo-Russian economic ties, the Embassy of India in Moscow remains committed to facilitating more such engagements to foster enduring business relations and drive mutual growth.
