This meeting, held amidst a rapidly shifting global security landscape, sends a clear message of unity and resilience between the two historic allies.
According to a report, Deputy PM Rudenko expressed Russia’s deep commitment to working hand-in-hand with India to strengthen international counter-terrorism efforts.

India and Russia: A Timeless Bond Strengthened by Modern Challenges
Historic Allies in a New World
India and Russia have long shared a bond that dates back to the Cold War era. Their cooperation has spanned defense, energy, education, space exploration, and more. Now, in 2025, global terrorism presents a modern challenge that requires renewed collaboration.
The meeting between Rudenko and the Indian envoy highlighted not only solidarity but also mutual understanding of the threats each country faces. In particular, both nations recognize the dangers of state-sponsored terrorism, radicalization through digital platforms, and global networks that operate beyond borders.

Russia and India’s Vision for a Safer World
During the meeting, Deputy PM Rudenko reaffirmed that Russia and India will work together across international platforms, including the United Nations, BRICS, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), to push for stronger global frameworks against terrorism.
The Indian envoy reciprocated by emphasizing India’s policy of zero tolerance toward terrorism, an approach that has only grown stronger following recent terrorist incidents in South Asia.
Both sides agreed that enhanced intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and technological collaboration are essential steps to dismantle terrorist networks and prevent extremist ideologies from spreading.
Why This Meeting Matters to the World
A Global Message of Peace and Strength
In an increasingly divided world, the Russia-India partnership sends a powerful message: global terrorism is a threat to all humanity, and it can only be countered through solidarity, cooperation, and unwavering resolve.
For millions of citizens in both countries—and around the world—this renewed commitment offers a sense of hope. It shows that despite geopolitical tensions elsewhere, there are still strong alliances working quietly and effectively for a safer future.
The deepening of Indo-Russian cooperation against terrorism will likely also influence broader regional dynamics, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Central Asia, where the ripple effects of terrorism are most deeply felt.
Looking Ahead
As Deputy PM Rudenko and the Indian envoy concluded their discussions, the spirit was clear: united, proactive, and forward-looking.
In the coming months, the world can expect to see new initiatives, joint statements, and concrete action plans emerging from this strengthened Indo-Russian partnership. Together, they aim not only to protect their own citizens but also to contribute meaningfully to global peace and security.
