NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Sunday highlighted India’s longstanding ties with Russia, saying the country had stood by India when New Delhi’s security and territorial integrity faced threats and much of the world preferred backing a military regime.Speaking at the Munich Leaders Meeting, Jaishankar said India and Russia had maintained strong relations since the 1950s and that the legacy of those ties continued to shape the relationship.\u201cIndia and Russia have historically very good relations, particularly since the 1950s. That history is not forgotten,\u201d Jaishankar said.He added that Russia which was Soviet Union before \u201cstood by us in many ways when our security, when our territorial integrity was under threat\u201d.\u201cAt a time when much of the world preferred backing a military regime (Pakistan) next to us, Russia was a country with which our relations were very good, and we are shaped in many ways by that legacy,\u201d he said.\u201cToday, the relationship has widened beyond that… It is very much more today an economic relationship as well. So there is a military component, there are nuclear component, there is space issues, but there is a significant amount of trade and investment between the two countries and energy and resources as well… India’s experience has been quite positive and consistently positive\u201d he added.Jaishankar also said India had moved beyond simply advocating dialogue and diplomacy to taking a more active role in efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict.He said India had held conversations with both Kyiv and Moscow in recent months and was trying to address some immediate concerns arising from the conflict.\u201cOur position on that conflict has been very clear, which is that we would like to see an end to this conflict. This will require dialogue and diplomacy. There has to be negotiations in this regard,\u201d he said.\u201cWe have been advocating it for many years, and in recent months we have got a little bit more involved beyond advocacy. We have conversations with both Russia and Ukraine in this regard. We are trying to be helpful, starting with the Black Sea safety of shipping issue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
