    India Russia

    Indo-Russian relations refer to the bilateral relations between the Republic of India and the Russian Federation. During the Cold War, India and the Soviet Union (USSR) enjoyed a strong strategic, military, economic and diplomatic relationship. After the collapse of the USSR, Russia inherited the close relationship with India, even as India improved its relations with the West after the end of the Cold War. Traditionally, the Indo-Russian strategic partnership has been built on five major components these are, political, defence, civil Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with Russian President Dmitry nuclear energy, counter terrorism cooperation Medvedev at the 2008 G8 Summit in Hokkaido. and space.[1] These five major components were highlighted in a speech given by the Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai in Russia.[2] However, in recent years a sixth component, economic, has grown in importance with both countries setting a target for $20 billion in bilateral trade by 2015.[3] The powerful IRIGC is the main body that conducts affairs at the governmental level between both countries.[4] Both countries are members of many international bodies where they jointly collaborate closely on matters of shared national interest. Important examples include the UN, BRICS, G20 and SCO where India has observer status and has been asked by Russia to become a full member.[5] Russia also strongly supports India receiving a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.[6] In addition, Russia has expressed interest in joining SAARC with observer status in which India is a founding member.[7][8] India is the second largest market for the Russian defense industry. In 2004, more than 70% of the Indian Military's hardware came from Russia, making Russia the chief supplier of defense equipment.[9] India has an embassy in Moscow and 2 Consulates-General (in Saint Petersburg and…

The capital is Islamabad, and the tribal belt adjoining the NWFP is managed by the Federal Government and is know as FATA i.e; Federally Administered Tribal Areas. Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas have their own political system, yet certain of their subjects are taken care of by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas.
