This is the best summary I could come up with:


NEW DELHI, Sept 13 (Reuters) - India and Russia will explore the possibility of using new transport corridors such as the Northern Sea Route and Eastern Maritime Corridor between Vladivostok and Chennai to widen maritime cooperation, the Indian government said on Wednesday.

New Delhi and Moscow have enjoyed a close relationship for decades and India has refused to condemn Russia for the war it has waged on Ukraine since last year.

Russian-Indian trade has instead risen to a record high, driven largely by a ramping-up of Indian imports of Russian oil.

The two countries, at the same meeting on Wednesday, also agreed to train Indian seafarers in polar and arctic waters at the Russian Maritime Training Institute, which is equipped with simulator facilities.

"We remain committed to maintaining strong ties (with Russia) and fostering strategic cooperation across various sectors," Sonowal said in a statement.

Chekunkov said Russia aims to "develop relations with Indian partners in the Far East in all areas of mutual interest".

I don’t think you get to claim TLDR if you only took off 35 words

Training sailors for polar/ artic conditions is good. Might as well have the sailors know how to do so safely.

It's probably also useful to the Russian and Indian Antarctic programs. They have neighboring stations on the bit near South Africa (Maitri and Novolazarevskaya stations, respectively). Both are on the coast, though they do have an ice runway too.

That’s dope. It means a dual purpose exercise that has two good purposes.

This is good. India is more or less peaceful, other than some extrajudicial killings in foreign countries and slight wars of territorial expansion.

Which war for territorial expansion are you alluding to, if I may so ask.

Oooooh I've been waiting to see when India would make its next move away from the West.

Oo I've been waiting to see more propaganda from Lemmygrad

Reuters, truly some Kremlin propaganda.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clearly not what I'm saying. Also, propaganda isn't based on lies, at its core is selectively telling the truth to support a narrative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, because Reuters is clearly propaganda and is clearly only telling part of the truth to support the Kremlin narrative.

Wait, Reuters is Lemmygrad?

Yeah, didn't you hear? Acquired last year along with WaPo and the NYT.
