Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is to meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday, after which a number of documents will be signed, including on construction of new nuclear power plants and supply of additional kits to assemble Russian fighters under license in India.
Under a new protocol to the 2000 intergovernmental agreement, Russia will supply kits to assemble 42 Su-30MKI Flanker multirole fighters for the Indian Air Force.
