In a press interview with Moscow police chief Vladimir Kolokoltsev. The police chief pledged to increase transparency in the Russian police force in a bid to crack down on rampant corruption.

PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA MANMOHAN SINGH: Your Excellency, Mr Dmitry Medvedev, President of the Russian Federation,

Distinguished representatives of the media,

I am delighted to welcome His Excellency President Medvedev to India for the 11th India-Russia annual summit.

Our summit this year marks the completion of ten years of the India-Russia strategic partnership. This is also the third annual summit meeting that I have held with President Medvedev. We deeply value the role that President Medvedev has played in taking forward our relationship.

The tradition of annual summits with Russia symbolises the richness of our relationship with Russia. Russia is a time-tested friend of India that has stood by us in our times of need in the past.

Ours is a very special and privileged strategic partnership. It is a partnership that has and will continue to develop independently of our relations with other countries.

Our talks have been comprehensive and result-oriented. We have signed several important agreements covering a large number of sectors. This reflects our mutual desire to bring our cooperation in other areas at par with our traditionally strong cooperation in the field of defense and nuclear energy.

Windows to Russia!
