NEW DELHI, October 16. /TASS/. Strong Russian-Indian relations play a stabilizing role in the changing world and demonstrate the failure of the global West's attempts to prevent the emergence of a multipolar world through pressure and sanctions, Russian ambassador to New Delhi Denis Alipov told a conference dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the strategic partnership between India and Russia at the Vivekananda International Foundation.
"The strategic partnership between Russia and India, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, can be seen as a stabilizing force in global affairs and a powerful driver of economic growth for our two countries. This is an indisputable proof of the inextricable interrelation of our national interests. These relations have always been equal, mutually beneficial and built on a solid foundation of trust and respect, qualities that make their upward trend irreversible," the ambassador said.
According to him, such relations are becoming more popular all over the world in an era of unprecedented geopolitical instability.
"The attempts of the so-called global West to impose neocolonial unilateral approaches, including legal sanctions and tariffs, as well as to provoke conflicts and trade wars in order to maintain dominance only emphasize its unwillingness to accept the emergence of a multipolar world," Alipov added.
