"My country [has been] a friendly country to Russia for ages — being a good Indian, I should try to promote this relationship," Rajnish Goenka, Founder & Chairman, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development Forum told Sputnik on the sidelines of the 26th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
The SPIEF took place in Russia's northern capital from June 14-17. RIA Novosti, a part of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, is the official media partner and the host photo agency for the event.
"[SPIEF] is a very big experience for me and my team," Goenka said. "It has changed the perception about Russia [in India and abroad]. Today, I can say, Russia is no less than America or Europe."
