Russia’s first Deputy Prime Minister Dennis Manturov said on Wednesday (21 August 2025) that oil and energy resources from Russia continue to flow to India and there are possibilities of exporting LNG to Moscow. While co-chairmanship of the 26th session of the India-Russian Inter-Government Commission (IRIGC-TEC) on trade, economic, scientific and cultural cooperation, Manturov said, “We are continuing exports of fuel including crude oil and oil products, thermal and coal. We see the possibility of exporting Russian LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). “This has come to light at a time when America has imposed a 25 percent tariff on India for buying oil from Russia.
On behalf of the Indian side, the Commission’s co-chairmanship, Foreign Minister S.K. Jaishankar has arrived here on a three -day visit on Tuesday (19 August 2025). The Russian leader said, “We hope to expand widespread cooperation in the peaceful nuclear sector, including cooperation based on the successful experience of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant construction project.”
