Oleg Avdeev, Consul General of Russian Consulate General in South India, on Wednesday said the attempts of the U.S. and its allies to “isolate Russia internationally” was an absurd idea since the world was much more complicated than the Americans think. Their plans were doomed to fail, he said.
Speaking at a roundtable, organised to mark the 75th Anniversary of Russian-Indian Diplomatic Relations by the Consulate-General of the Russian Federation, South India and Indo-Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industries, he said despite tremendous combined pressure from the West, India chose to retain strategic autonomy in its relationship with Russia.
