The Indian diplomat noted the special importance for India in the participation and organization of the forum:

 

“We are interested in organizing a trilateral meeting “Russia — India — Japan”, as well as meetings at the level of federal ministers of Russia and India. India looks forward to expanding Russian-Indian business contacts at the regional level. Business representatives of the state of Gujarat were invited to the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to consolidate the agreements in the diamond industry and pharmaceuticals reached at the Forum in 2019.
