(Moscow) – Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh meets Russian President Vladimir Putin hoping to clinch a delayed nuclear power plant agreement and expand Soviet-era military ties. Singh is using one of his last major foreign trips as prime minister before 2014 general elections to seek resolutions to lingering issues with two of India’s most important regional partners.
Indian PM will also visit China in a bid to forge closer economic relations and ink a pact to ease tension along their disputed border in a remote Himalayan region.
