NEW DELHI, December 16. /TASS/. The number of Indian citizens currently working in Russia is approximately 70,000, but with the signing of a bilateral agreement on temporary employment at the 23rd Russian-Indian summit, this number could increase, Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov announced.
"Currently, about 70,000 Indians are working in Russia. And this number has grown significantly in recent years," he said during a discussion organized by the Observer Research Foundation think tank.
He added that "overall, the prospects in the Russian labor market are enormous."
According to the ambassador, there are currently no precise figures reflecting plans for the development of labor migration between Russia and India.
"But we are interested in expanding cooperation in this area, and India is also showing interest in more actively developing the Russian labor market," he noted.
