India says it is holding discussions with Russia aimed at deepening cooperation on the Northern Sea Route. At a weekly press briefing, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal says improving logistics linkages remains a central part of India’s “multi-faceted cooperation” with Russia, and that talks on the route are already underway.
Both outlets describe the engagement in the context of Moscow’s broader Arctic trade efforts. The reporting frames the Northern Sea Route as an emerging Europe–Asia logistics corridor as Russia develops Arctic shipping lanes. India’s interest is also presented as focused on connectivity and related opportunities, as both sides explore practical ways to strengthen cooperation around the corridor. The articles do not report on specific agreements, timelines, or the level of progress reached, but they consistently confirm that dialogue continues at the governmental level.
