MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated India on the anniversary of its independence, adding that Russia was ready to strengthen bilateral partnership, the Kremlin press service said Tuesday.

“In the message, Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia’s readiness to continue joint efforts to strengthen the special privileged partnership between Russia and India in the interests of the friendly peoples of the two countries, and with a view to ensuring international stability and security,”

the Kremlin press service said.

The Russian president also praised India’s economic, social and other achievements and said that the country enjoyed the well-deserved respect of the international community.

“Russian-Indian ties have always been based on friendship and mutual respect,”

the president said, according to the press release.

On August 15, 1947, India became an independent nation, with Pakistan declared a sovereign country a day before. The two previously were dominions within British India, governed by the United Kingdom. Both India and Pakistan chose to remain members of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association, including mostly former UK territories.

Hopefully Putin will be able to use these good relations with both India and China to help diffuse the tensions between the two countries, which is a tool used by Washington to weaken China. One of these days India is going to have to make a SOLID choice between being a puppet of the US and true alignment with China, Russia, OBOR etc.

Exactly. After the experience of British rule no true Indian wishes to return to such slavery under the US/EU/NATO gang. However, India has a vile and servile rich elite that will do anything for money. Just like in the rest of the world.
When India does make its clear choice for the multipolar world, the US/EU/NATO gang will unleash all sorts of bloody plans to rip it apart from limb to limb. Just look at how easy it was to do this 70 years ago.

‘Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia’s readiness to continue joint efforts to strengthen the special privileged partnership between Russia and India in the interests of the friendly peoples of the two countries, and with a view to ensuring international stability and security,’ Do Americans ever talk like that?
