(This story originally appeared in on Aug 20, 2019)NEW DELHI: India, which is looking to upgrade its mainstay Su 30MKI fighter fleet to modern standards, hopes to get a toehold into the export market as well by offering the package to friendly foreign nations that operate the Russian origin aircraft.

Russia should be in the meeting, it should be a part of it.” In a Russian television interview due to be aired on Saturday, President Vladimir Putin said that dialogue with Trump could be “constructive”. Trump is “a serious-minded person who knows how to listen to people and respond to their arguments. This leads me to believe that dialogue may prove to be constructive.” The last meeting between … [Read more...] about Donald Trump calls for G7 to readmit Russia ahead of summit
