NEW DELHI: 

In anticipation of Prime Minister Modi's upcoming visit to Ukraine on August 23, the Chief of the Russian Navy has arrived in India to explore opportunities for enhancing maritime collaboration between Moscow and New Delhi.

Admiral Aleksandr Alekseyevich Moiseyev is on an official visit to India from August 19 to 22, during which he engaged in extensive discussions with Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi on Monday.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the lateral entry of individuals into senior government positions, labeling it an affront to Dalits, OBCs, and Adivasis. India is striving to maintain a delicate strategic equilibrium between its enduring partnership with Russia and the US-led Western bloc, which has consistently expressed concerns regarding the close relationship between New Delhi and Moscow. Additionally, India is apprehensive about the increasingly close strategic ties between China and Russia.

On Monday, the discussions between Admiral Moiseyev and General Chauhan highlighted a shared commitment to enhancing maritime security, deepening strategic cooperation, and strengthening the defense partnership between the two countries, according to an official statement.

Another official remarked, "This visit exemplifies the long-standing relationship between the navies of Russia and India. It aims to bolster bilateral naval relations and explore new avenues for naval collaboration."

The Russian Navy chief's visit will also include a tour of the Western Naval Command and Mazagon Docks in Mumbai, coinciding with the anticipated delivery of two guided-missile frigates currently under construction in Russia for India. The delivery of these frigates, along with the remaining two squadrons of the five S-400 Triumf air defense missile systems for the Indian Air Force, has faced delays due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as previously reported by TOI.

The first of the two 4,000-tonne multi-purpose frigates is expected to be delivered by the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad within the next few months and will be commissioned as INS Tushil. The second frigate is also in the pipeline.
