Agreements have been concluded, but actual activities aren’t carried out. The only areas in which measures are actually being implemented are the search and development of hydrocarbon raw materials. Thus, contracts have been concluded between Russian and Indian companies for the supply of Russian oil and natural gas. Also, Indian business has shares in Russian mining companies and so it is as an investor.

In the scientific, technical, social and environmental spheres, Norway is India’s main partner. Although there is potential for cooperation between Russia and India in these areas and, we hope, will be realized in the near future.
