India said on Tuesday that it had inked contracts with Russia for the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project, which is located in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. On a visit to Russia, Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar is scheduled to meet with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday. The two ministers aim to talk about bilateral relations, the situations in Gaza and Ukraine, and matters pertaining to organisations like BRICS.
“Today, in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, we signed some important agreements pertaining to future units of the Kudankulam Nuclear Project,” Jaishankar said at a gathering with the Indian community in Moscow on Tuesday.
As part of a project that both nations signed, construction on the first two units started about 20 years ago.
For many years, New Delhi and Moscow have had a close relationship, and India has not criticised Russia for its involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
