Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said Moscow sees significant potential to begin exporting liquefied natural gas to India as the two countries look to deepen energy ties, according to comments carried by state-run RIA Novosti on Wednesday. Manturov added that Russia is also counting on expanding its long-standing cooperation with India in civilian nuclear power. The remarks come as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov prepares to meet his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Moscow, with energy collaboration listed on the agenda.
