New Delhi hosted a symbolic ride as Indian and Russian cyclists waved their national flags to mark 78 years of diplomatic ties, underscoring a friendship rooted as much in culture and people as in policy. From Soviet-era cooperation in steel, power, education, space, and cinema to today’s vibrant exchanges in arts, language, and community events, the partnership continues to adapt to a complex geopolitical landscape. While energy trade and defence collaboration remain pillars, the public celebration on Delhi’s streets highlighted how culture carries the relationship beyond treaties—into everyday smiles, classrooms, labs, festivals, and shared traditions. #IndiaRussiaFriendship #IndiaRussiaTies #IndiaRussia #IndiaRussiaRelations #IndiaRussia2025 #IndiaRussiaNews #IndiaRussiaCulturalExchange #IndiaRussiaDefence #IndiaRussiaCelebration #IndiaRussiaPartnership #IndiaRussiaDiplomacy #IndiaRussiaUnity #StrongerTogether #FriendshipBeyondBorders #indorussiaculturalforum
