New Delhi, Nov 10: Denis Manturov, Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister, will be on a visit to India from November 11. Here, he will participate in the Russian-Indian Business Forum and co-chair a high-level intergovernmental meeting.

Manturov’s visit underscores efforts to enhance bilateral trade and economic cooperation between Russia and India.

On November 11, Manturov will attend the plenary session of the Russian-Indian Business Forum in Mumbai, aimed at fostering stronger business ties between entrepreneurs from both nations.
