India up, Germany down. While Germany’s trade with Russia fell by more than half in Sept., year-on-year, Indian officials announced that they plan to double their trade with Russia, despite nasty demands from Western countries to join their suicidal sanctions regime against Russia. This was reported by the Indian Express on Nov. 13, citing minutes from a recent high-level meeting between Russian and Indian officials.
“The department of commerce mentioned that it was ready to support the initiative, and on the basis of feedback from various exporters and business entities, it was confident of doubling India-Russia trade within the near foreseeable future,” the document stated, as quoted by the news outlet.
