India-Russia trade has grown five-fold to $68 bn, but major trade imbalance needs addressing: EAM

Moscow/New Delhi, Aug 20 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today said that while bilateral trade in goods between India and Russia has grown more than five-fold, from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25, the major trade imbalance accompanying the growth needs to be addressed. Speaking at the 26th Session of the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological, and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC), in Moscow, the EAM made some suggestions on how the two sides can improve their efficiency and deepen economic cooperation. The EAM remarked that the two sides are meeting in Moscow after 10 months since the last Session in November 2024 in New Delhi, which he said is perhaps the shortest interval between the two sessions that they have had. 'Over the last four years, our bilateral trade in goods has increased, as you have noted, more than five-fold from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25 and it continues to grow. However, a major trade imbalance has accompanied the growth; it has increased from USD 6.6 billion to USD 58.9 billion which is about nine times. So we need to address that urgently,' he said. Outlining some of the salient features of the agenda, he said. 'Addressing tariff and non-tariff trade barriers, removing bottlenecks in logistics, promoting connectivity through the International North-South Transport Corridor, the Northern Sea Route and the Chennai-Vladivostok Corridor, effecting payment mechanisms smoothly, timely finalization and execution of the Programme of Economic Cooperation till 2030, the early conclusion of the India-Eurasian Economic Union FTA, whose terms of reference were finalised today, and regular interaction between the businesses of the two countries – these are among the key elements.' He said these will not only help to address the imbalance and grow the trade, but also hasten the timely achievement of their revised trade target of USD 100 billion by 2030. EAM Jaishankar said that they are meeting in the backdrop of a complex geopolitical situation, and both their leaders remain closely and regularly engaged, and provide 'wise and practical guidance to our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership'. Among the suggestions he outlined were, that the various Working Groups and Sub Groups could take a more creative and innovative approach. He said the two sides could focus more on areas like the smoothness of settlements, of better logistics, of diversifying the trade basket, creating more joint ventures, moving on skilling and mobility. He suggested that the two sides should continuously diversify and expand their agenda through mutual consultation. 'This will help us to tap into full potential of our trade and investment ties. We should not get stuck on a beaten track. Doing more and doing differently should be our mantras.' He urged that they should set themselves some quantifiable targets and specific timelines so that they challenge themselves to achieve more. 'Each Working Group and each Sub Group could apply itself to setting of targets and see what we could achieve by the next session of the IRIGC-TEC.' He also suggested that they should have at least two inter-sessional meetings between the IRIGC Sessions, including a virtual midterm review with all the Co-Chairs like they did in 2023. He also suggested having a coordination mechanism between the Business Forum and the different Working Groups of the IRIGC, so that there is a two-way flow between people in the business world and people in the policy world. Addressing the Business Forum later, the EAM said that the two sides have 'concluded the Terms of Reference for the India-Eurasian Economic Union FTA. That will surely make a difference when concluded.' He said in a post on X: 'Co-chaired an extremely productive 26th India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation IRIGC-TEC along with First DPM Denis Manturov of Russia today. 'We had detailed discussions on our cooperation in a wide-ranging arena including trade & economic sector, agriculture, energy, industries, skilling, mobility, education and culture. 'As we meet in the backdrop of a complex geopolitical situation, made the following suggestions to make the IRIGIC-TEC an even more efficient catalyst for deepening our economic cooperation: *Need for a creative and innovative approach. *Continuously diversify and expand our agenda through mutual consultations. *Set quantifiable targets and specific timelines so that we challenge ourselves to achieve more, perhaps even surpass what we set out to do. *Have at least two inter-sessional meetings between the IRIGC Sessions. And a virtual midterm review with all the Co-Chairs. Have a coordination mechanism between the Business Forum and the different Working Groups of the IRIGC-TEC, so that there is a two-way flow. 'As we prepare for the Annual Leaders Summit, confident that the outcomes of the IRIGC-TEC meeting today will further drive the time tested India-Russia partnership." UNI RN
