MOSCOW, December 20 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will go on an official visit to India on Monday. For two days the president will visit New Delhi, Agra and Mumbai, where he will not only hold several negotiations, but will also visit the Taj Mahal mausoleum, which is one of the Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Bollywood film industry.

This will be Medvedev’s second official visit to India after the first one in December 2008. Annual mutual visits of the leaders of the countries turned into a tradition in Russian-Indian relations. The major negotiations are scheduled for Tuesday, when the Russian leader will meet with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Foreign Minister Somanahalli Krishna, President Pratibha Patil, Vice-President Mohammad Ansari, President of the Indian National Congress Party Sonia Gandhi and the opposition leader in the lower house of Indian parliament Sushma Swaraj. On the same day the countries are to sign several agreements, the leaders of the countries will give a press conference and will meet with Russian and Indian business quarters.

On Tuesday morning the Russian president will go to Agra, where he will visit a famous mausoleum Taj Mahal. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan has built the white domed marble Taj Mahal in Agra in memory of his third wife Mumtaz Mahal in the 17th century. Five million tourists visit the Taj Mahal mausoleum annually.

Then Medvedev will go to the Indian megapolis Mumbai. The Russian president will be received at the Indian Technological Institute and the Bollywood film industry. A world-wide known Indian film industry has brought about in Mumbai at the beginning of the 20th century and now turned in the Bollywood dream film industry.

“For the last ten years Russian-Indian relations were brought to an absolutely new level that can be described as privileged strategic partnership, and this formula will be fixed in a joint statement that is to be issued at the summit,” Russian presidential aide Prikhodko said. This level of relation “envisages close coordination, which is based on long-standing traditions of friendship, between the countries of their foreign political approaches on a broad range of international and regional problems, large-scale trade and economic cooperation, including the modernization and the introduction of high technologies, broader military-technical cooperation and intensive cultural ties and human contracts,” he noted.

“Russia and India traditionally attach major importance to bilateral cultural exchanges,” the Russian presidential aide said. He emphasized that during Medvedev’s forthcoming visit the countries “are to sign an agreement on the Festival of Indian Culture in Russia in 2011 and the Festival of Russian Culture in India in 2012.”

Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Minister of Education and Science Andrei Fursenko, Central Elections Commission Chairman Vladimir Churov, Rostechnologii chief Sergei Chemezov, Rosatom chief Sergei Kiriyenko, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Mikhail Dmitriyev and chief of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky will accompany the Russian president. The Russian delegation also includes RusHydro CEO Yevgeny Dod, RUSAL CEO Oleg Deripaska, AFK Sistema CEO Vladimir Yevtushenkov, Rosoboronexport chief Anatoly Isaykin, Sukhoi Company Director General Mikhail Pogosyan, RUSNANO chief Anatoly Chubais, KAMAZ Director General Sergei Kogonin, RENOVA Group Board Chairman Viktor Vekselberg and other officials.
