QINGDAO (Sputnik) - India is Russia's exceptionally important strategic partner in the military area, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov said on Thursday.
"For us, India is an exceptionally important strategic partner, a traditional friend, and among other things, a partner in military and technical areas," Belousov said at the meeting with his Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh.
At the start of the meeting, the Russian defense minister expressed his condolences over the deadly plane crash in Ahmedabad, which took place on June 12.
Belousov also thanked the Indian defense minister for his participation in the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow on May 9.
Belousov and Singh have held a meeting in the Chinese city of Qingdao, where the meeting of defense ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states took place earlier in the day.
