India moving towards becoming global power, says Russian envoy who attended INS Vikrant commissioning

Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov has appreciated India's move of commissioning  INS Vikrant and said the country is moving fastly towards becoming a self-reliant and major global power.

“It’s a proud moment for India they built an indigenous major aircraft carrier. India is moving towards self-reliance and has shown that it’s moving fastly towards becoming a major global power. The world needs super strong India,” Russian Ambassador told ANI.

“We are very much committed and enthusiastic about future cooperation between Russia and India in trade, technology, production and other fields despite current difficulties and tensions in the world,” he added.

Indian PM Narendra Modi commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier as INS Vikrant on Friday and said India is witnessing the sunrise of a new future.

Modi also unveiled the new Naval Ensign (Nishaan), doing away with the colonial past and befitting the rich Indian maritime heritage.

This event being held on the INS Vikrant is a tribute to the rising spirits of India on the world horizon.

He said that today we are seeing a manifestation of the dream of the freedom fighters where they envisioned a capable and strong India.
