In Moscow, Jaishankar raises challenge posed by tariff to India-Russia trade, calls for early conclusion of India-Eurasian Economic Union FTA
In the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of penalty tariff on India, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Wednesday (August 20, 2025) in Moscow raised the challenge posed by 'tariff and non-tariff trade barriers' before Russia-India trade and called for 'early conclusion' of a Free Trade Agreement among India and the countries of the Eurasian region. Mr. Jaishankar made the remarks during the 26th Session of the India-Russia Inter-Government Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation (IRIGC-TEC) where the Russian side was being led by First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov. Delivering his opening remarks Mr. Jaishankar said, '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' are the main issues before the IRIGC-TEC. He further said that Wednesday's meeting in Moscow also finalized the terms of reference of the India-Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement of which Russia has been a leading proponent as it aims at removing obstacles for overland trade among Russia, China, India and the Central Asian countries. '..we are all acutely aware that we are meeting in the backdrop of a complex geopolitical situation. Our leaders remain closely and regularly engaged,' said Mr Jaishankar indirectly referring to the trade-related anxieties in India-U.S. relation. He also raised the issue of trade imbalance in India-Russia trade that has expanded in the past few years as India's trade with Russia grew from $13 billion in 2021 to $68 billion in 2024-'25. India-Russia trade has risen sharply after Russia was hit with Western sanctions following the crisis in Ukraine. Bulk of this trade is in hydrocarbon that Russia supplies to India. As a result the earlier trade imbalance of $ 6.6 billion has risen to $58.9 billion. 'So, we need to address that urgently,' said Mr Jaishankar in his remarks.

India, Eurasian Economic Union sign terms to launch trade negotiations
India and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), comprising Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan, on Wednesday signed the terms of reference (ToR) to launch negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA). Russia, the largest member of the EEU bloc, is also India's biggest trading partner within it, accounting for more than 92 per cent of total trade. The announcement comes amid strained relations between India and the US, with Washington turning up the pressure on New Delhi by imposing additional import tariffs. The move is aimed at curbing India's trade, particularly oil imports, with Russia. The new tariffs, set to take effect next week, are seen as America's attempt to tighten the screws on Moscow and hasten an end to the three-year-long Russia–Ukraine conflict. FTA talks with the EEU are also being launched at a time when India has been unable to finalise an interim trade deal with the US. Uncertainty hangs over the next round of negotiations after US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50 per cent, including an extra 25 per cent duty on India's imports of Russian crude. The ToR was signed by Ajay Bhadoo, additional secretary in the Department of Commerce, and Mikhail Cherekaev, deputy director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's trade policy department. Both sides also discussed the next steps to formally launch the process, including organisational aspects of the proposed trade pact. Trade between India and the EEU stood at $69 billion in 2024, up 7 per cent from a year earlier. Discussions on an FTA have been underway for more than two years. 'With a combined gross domestic product of $6.5 trillion, the proposed FTA is expected to expand market access for Indian exporters, support diversification into new sectors and geographies, enhance competitiveness against non-market economies, and deliver wide benefits to micro, small and medium enterprises,' the commerce department said. The ToR sets the framework for negotiations and is expected to unlock untapped trade potential, increase investment flows, and establish a stronger India–EEU economic partnership. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to an early conclusion of the agreement and to building a long-term institutional framework for trade cooperation. Last year, India and Russia set an ambitious target of raising bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030, up from the current level of more than $65 billion.

Jaishankar in Moscow for talks, Russia envoy: Will resolve any problem
Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian deputy envoy in Delhi said that this is the 'true strategic partnership' and it means 'India matters a lot to Russia'. The Russian envoy sought to frame India as a partner of choice, at a time when Delhi is facing 50 per cent tariffs from the US. This came after two phone calls between PM Modi and President Putin within a span of two weeks this month – the level and frequency of communication is not common. Deputy Chief of mission in the Russian embassy in Delhi, Roman Babushkin, said President Putin plans to visit India this year, even as he said the schedule will be firmed up soon. On the Russia-India ties in the evolving geopolitical scenario, he said, 'This is the true strategic partnership we are enjoying. Whatever happens, even during challenges, we are committed to removing any problems…The recent phone call by President Putin to PM Modi, explaining and sharing the information about recent developments in Ukraine, means India matters a lot to Russia.' Babushkin, who was addressing reporters hours before External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Russian First Deputy PM Denis Manturov in Moscow, said, 'We are capable of finding any solution for mutual satisfaction. The deepening of our partnership will help us grow together.' Jaishankar is scheduled to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday. Calling Russia a 'partner of choice' for India in terms of defence purchases, Babushkin said, 'Russia has been a partner of choice for India's requirement of various military platforms and hardware.' He said defence cooperation between the two countries is set to expand in the time to come. Babushkin also called American pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil as 'unjustified', even as he said India's demands were growing and Russia remains the biggest supplier of crude oil to India. He said they don't expect New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. 'Russia is the largest producer of oil and India is the largest consumer. Any kind of unilateral action leads to disruptions in supply chains, imbalance in pricing policies and destabilisation of global markets, endangering the energy security of developing countries,' he said. On US President Donald Trump announcing an additional 25 per cent tariff on India earlier this month, Babushkin said, 'It is a challenging situation for India. We are enjoying trust in our partnership with India and we are committed to address challenges that may come in the energy ties between the two counties.' 'I want to highlight that despite the political situation, we can predict the same level of oil import (by India),' Babushkin said. At the briefing, Russia's Deputy Trade Commissioner Evgeny Griva said buying oil from Russia is 'very profitable' for India, which will not want to change its supplier. He said Russia has a 'very, very special mechanism' to continue oil supplies to India. Babushkin said this wasn't the first time the US has threatened such sanctions and that India and Russia have, in the past also, found ways to overcome this. 'We have seen this problem of sanctions for many years now, but our trade is growing. In recent years, our trade has grown by seven times,' he said. 'If the West criticises you, it means you are doing everything right…We don't expect that to happen (India to stop buying oil from India). We know about the challenging circumstances for India,' he said. 'The sanctions are hitting those who are imposing them. We are confident that India-Russia energy cooperation will continue notwithstanding the external pressure.' 'If hypothetically speaking, India refuses to procure Russian oil, it will not lead to mutually beneficial cooperation with the West. They (Western powers) are behaving like neo-colonial powers,' the Russian diplomat said. 'This pressure is unjustified and unilateral….' Babushkin also called BRICS 'as a stabilising force' amid the ongoing global turbulence, and welcomed India and China moving ahead to repair ties, expressed optimism about the resumption of the India-Russia-China trilateral format, describing it as a vital step toward regional stability. Signalling hope for the revival of the trilateral format RIC framework, he said, 'We are quite hopeful that this format will be resumed sooner rather than later because its importance is not questioned. But we should wait until the right time comes. We would welcome these developments because they proved their efficiency when we had regular interaction at the ministerial level and even at the leaders' level.' India, however, has been non-committal about resumption of the RIC format, even as Beijing has been pushing for it. 'It is all about the regional stability of the region, which is mostly dependent on how the relations between the three countries, the largest countries in the region, Russia, India and China, are developing,' he added. On the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, scheduled to take place from August 31 to September 1 at Tianjin, China, he said, 'We are all preparing to attend the SCO summit at the highest political level. Recently, in the engagements with the Chinese Foreign Minister, the Indian side confirmed the participation of the Prime Minister's attendance at the summit.' He expressed a likelihood of a bilateral meeting between PM Modi and President Putin on the sidelines.
