WASHINGTON: India's relationship with Russia was developed over decades at a time when the US was not able to be a partner of the South Asian country, secretary of state Tony Blinken said as top officials of the Biden administration on Monday showed an understanding of New Delhi's position on Ukraine war.
"India's relationship with Russia was developed over decades at a time when the United States was not able to be a partner to India. Times have changed," Blinken told reporters at a joint press conference with defence secretary Lloyd Austin and their Indian counterparts external affairs minister S Jaishankar and defence minister Rajnath Singh.
