But here is a curious case of India and US, one is the largest democracy and the other is the oldest one respectively. Not that they were at war with each other but definitely they were far from being allies. The relation between India and US is not less than that of a roller coaster ride. For example, between 1947-2000, only 3 of the 9 U.S. Presidents: Dwight Eisenhower in 1959; Richard Nixon in 1969; and Jimmy Carter in 1978 visited India. Contrary to this, in last two decades every president has visited India at least once. There are multiple reasons for this importance being accorded to India from America’s perspective. India’s drastic economic ascent and the rise of assertive China to name a few. There is global shift in Geo politics in the post-cold war era. No country can afford to not take India’s stance on any issue into account. India too has realized that it can’t win economic and political battles on global stage with being hostile to the only superpower left after the collapse of Soviet Union.

India and the Russian Federation, however, were soon able to find a new basis for re-establishing their close and friendly relations. Within a span of time Indo-Russian relations have evolved into a strategic partnership. This proposes a qualitative higher level of relationship reflecting mutual trust and confidence. India and Russia have shown resilience and understanding to diversify their relations to match their interests. India is the world's third largest energy consumer and a major energy importer with steadily growing demand. Russia is a key global producer and exporter of petroleum and natural gas. The two countries' needs naturally complement each other. The current energy bilateral cooperation, already strong, can significantly extend to new sources such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Building on these can be an industry in natural gas vehicles and renewable energy, enabling economic instruments, such as energy benchmarks, and a policy framework, including labour mobility, to develop a skills corridor in energy.
