Jaishankar, Union Minister of External Affairs, while giving his opening remarks at the 26th Session of the India-Russia Intergovernmental Commission, said that the two nations need to work on reducing trade imbalance urgently. "Over the last four years, our bilateral trade in goods has increased, as you have noted, more than five-fold from USD 13 billion in 2021 to USD 68 billion in 2024-25 and it continues to grow. However, a major trade imbalance has accompanied the growth; it has increased from USD 6.6 billion to USD 58.9 billion which is about nine times. So we need to address that urgently," said the External Affairs Minister.The development comes amid strain in India's ties with the US over New Delhi's procurement of crude oil from Russia.Ties between Washington and New Delhi faced fresh strain on the trade front, as government sources confirmed that the US team would not travel to India for the sixth round of bilateral trade negotiations scheduled for August 25.The setback comes just days after Trump imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, raising the total levy to 50 per cent, along with an unspecified penalty for India's continued oil imports from Russia.Live EventsEarlier on August 13, the Foreign Ministry of Russia had said that EAM Jaishankar and Russian FM Sergey Lavrov's meeting would discuss key issues on the bilateral agenda, as well as key aspects of cooperation within international frameworks.On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin had called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and shared his insights about the recent meeting in Alaska with US President Donald Trump over the Ukraine conflict. PM Modi said India has consistently called for a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict and supports all efforts in this regard. He thanked the Russian President for the phone call and for sharing his perspective on the Alaska meeting.
