The Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Friday.
The meeting comes shortly after Prime Minister Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at the Russia-India-China (RIC) informal summit and a meeting of the BRICS nations on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Argentina.
Russia and India have a longstanding relationship, with the Ministry of External Affairs mentioning that the development of India-Russia relations has been a key pillar of India's foreign policy.
Trade between both the nations amounted to USD 7.71 billion in 2016, with Indian exports amounting to USD 2.39 billion and imports from Russia amounting to USD 5.32 billion.
