NEW DELHI, Safar 11, 1434, Dec 24, 2012, SPA - Russian President Vladimir Putin is in India for talks intended to help cement Russia's position in the growing Indian market and reinvigorate political ties. Following meetings Monday between Putin and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Moscow and New Delhi are expected to sign agreements on trade, science, education and law enforcement, according to a report of the Associated Press. While the volume of Russian-Indian trade has risen six fold since 2000 and is expected to reach $10 billion this year, the growth has slowed in recent years. --SPA 10:52 LOCAL TIME 07:52 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1062155
