MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 India’s foreign minister met Wednesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said relations between the countries are progressing even amid turbulent times.<\/p>\n

Subramanyam Jaishankar’s meeting was part of a five-day visit. At the start of the meeting, Putin said he would inform the Indian diplomat about the fighting in Ukraine, on which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has held a neutral stance.<\/p>\n

“I know about his desire to do everything to resolve this problem through peaceful means,” Putin said.<\/p>\n

India is increasingly important to Russia as a market for oil exports, the backbone of its economy, as Western sanctions curtail oil shipments.<\/p>\n

“It is very important to make our trade interaction more sustainable. We need to think about how to achieve this,” Jaishankar said, according to a Kremlin transcript of the meeting’s opening.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s foreign minister praised the “all-time high” trade turnover between the two countries, which he said exceeded $50 billion last year.<\/p>\n

“We expect to exceed that this year. And what is important is that this trade is more balanced, it is sustainable, and it provides for fair market access,” he said.<\/p>\n
