S-400 is symbol of Indian sovereignty, hope to complete naval, logistics agreements next year: Russian diplomat

The Hindu  

The S-400 missile system deal is a symbol of the strength of India’s “sovereignty” said a Russian official, denying that the deal or other major agreements due to be signed during the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin last Monday had been put on the backburner due to concerns over U.S. sanctions. However, key agreements that had been outlooked for signing during the meetings, including the Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Agreement and a Navy to Navy cooperation MoU by diplomats ahead of Mr. Putin’s visit, which led to speculation that New Delhi had chosen to hold off on these as well as other expected deals for fighter jets and short range missiles until there is more clarity on whether the U.S. will impose sanctions over the delivery of the S-400 Triumf missile systems. So in case the Indian side would be interested in a serious discussion about the Indian presence in Afghanistan, the Russian side would be very open for any dialogue on supporting India,” Mr. Babushkin said in the interview, where he described the outcomes of the 21st India-Russia summit held last week. “The S-400 decision is a very strong example of how advanced our defence and strategic partnership is, and how strong Indian sovereignty is, to choose its international partners, especially when it comes to issues of national interest and national security,” the Russian diplomat said, calling the US CAATSA sanctions law an “illegal tool for unlawful competition” and added that the S-400 project does not target the US in any way.
