DESPITE SANCTIONS. INDIAN EXPERT ON THE SECRET OF RUSSIA’S ECONOMIC SUCCESS UNDER WESTERN PRESSURE.
Russian-Indian economic ties are developing dynamically. Over the past five years, trade turnover has grown sevenfold and by the 2024-2025 financial years will reach 68.7 billion dollars. There are many promising areas of cooperation between the two countries — from energy to biotechnology. According to Manish Kumar, the upcoming visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to India in early December will give new impetus to relations in all areas. «Ask any child in India who is a true friend of our country? The answer will be the same: Russia. This is a friendship that has stood the test of time.»
The Russian economy has demonstrated successful development under unprecedented sanctions pressure. This opinion was expressed by Manish Kumar, Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Foreign Economic Cooperation with Partners in India. The well-known expert took part in the Tenth International Forum of the Financial University. One of the leading platforms for discussing trends in the development of the Russian and global economy, it brought together representatives from more than 30 countries. «Currently, more than 35,000 sanctions have been imposed against Russia,» noted Manish Kumar. «Taking into account the total number of sanctions, including from America and Europe, they expected the collapse of the Russian economy. But the economy holds, and GDP grows. Therefore, the world, friendly countries and even unfriendly ones, can learn from Russia how to withstand such pressure.»
