Russia and India Seek Partnership in Military and Energy for Arctic Circle Development

Russia and India are rapidly (approaching each other? getting close? ). On the 5th of February, the Russian oil giant announced India’s participation in Russian oil field development in the Arctic circle. Both countries also agreed on introducing the Russian anti-missile system by the year 2021. The intention behind this partnership (?) is likely to exhibit strengthening cooperation in energy and military industries to use against (?) the Trump administration. The U.S. is anticipated to criticize India’s decision.
Igor Sechin, the director of the government-affiliated company Rosneft, met with the minister of petroleum and natural gas, Dharmendra Pradhan, in New Deli. They reached a basic agreement on the participation of an Indian company to Rosneft’s energy development project in the Arctic circle “Vostok Oil”.
The partnership will further be hammered out at the task force that is going to be newly established.
Rosneft signed a partnership with Indian Oil to export as much as 2 million tons of oil from a southern Russian port in 2020.
Vostok is a project lead by Sechin, a close advisor of president Putin.
The project consists of (?) several oil field development plans in the eastern Siberia, and the production is estimated to reach 100 million tons annually by 2030, occupying 20% of an entire production in Russia.
Russia sees India as the largest oil consumer next to the U.S. and China.
Investment is estimated to exceed 10 billion dollars. Sechin visited Japan in December 2019 and invited Japanese enterprises to join the project as well.
On the 5th of February, the executives of the Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation
visited the military expo “DEFEXPO" in India and confirmed on a possible delivery of an anti-missile system “S400” to India. The training for delivery and management is scheduled to commence by the end of 2021.
India, despite the opposition from the U.S., agreed on proceeding according to the plan on the contract.
The executives also commented that Russia is ready to start the production of the AK-47, Russian assault rifle, in 2020.
The approval for domestic production of the Russian tanks in India was extended until 2028. 460 tanks are planned for production.
India, with an intention to expand military production, insists on a domestic production even on a negotiation table with the U.S. and China. Russia agreed on this request and have provided weapons amounting to 15 billion dollars in the past three years.
Both Russia and India are carefully …(observing?) the relationships with China and the U.S.
Although India and the U.S. have been cooperating against China, India no longer receives preferential treatment on tariffs from the Trump administration.
Another background for partnering with Russia is the diversification of oil suppliers as India was forced to stop the oil import from Iran due to U.S. sanctions.
India is also carrying a negotiation with China on a possibility of expansion in trade against the U.S., in spite of their existing border disputes.
India’s intentions to weigh the U.S., China and Russia are a clear sign to attract more profit to the domestic economy.
As for Russia, with the lengthening of Western sanctions, strengthening the ties with India and China was inevitable.
The relationship with the U.S. is in a statement and the nuclear disarmament talks that are hoped to encourage (improve?) the U.S.-Russia ties are also slow in development.
With the outbreak of coronavirus, concern for a recession of the Chinese economy is increasing. Russia rushes to spread the risk by partnering with India in addition to its largest exporting partner China.
In 2019, the Trump administration pressured the Turkish government with a possible sanction and a freeze in the sale of a cutting-edge fighter aircraft when Turkey introduced S400.
The U.S. and India agreed on the joint production of fighter aircraft in 2017. India is potentially an ideal weapon export market for the U.S.
The U.S. and Russia each attempted to take in India, the former country within a “Japan-U.S.-India” partnership, and the latter within the “China-Russia-India” partnership. Russia’s aim to separate the U.S. from India coincides with China’s interests as well.


印ロがエネルギー、軍事で接近、北極圏開発参画

ロシアとインドが急速に接近している。ロシアの石油最大手は5日、北極圏の油田開発にインドが参画すると発表した。両国はロシア製ミサイル防衛システムの導入を2021年までに始めることでも一致した。エネルギーと軍事の両面で連携強化を演出し、トランプ米政権との駆け引きに利用する思惑が透ける。米国がインドへの反発を強める可能性もある。

インドはロシア製ミサイル防衛システムの導入を目指す(19年3月撮影、ロシア西部のカリーニングラード州)=ロイター
政府系ロスネフチのセチン社長がニューデリーで、インドのプラダン石油天然ガス相と会談し、同社が主導する北極圏の資源開発計画「ボストーク・オイル」への印企業の参画で基本合意した。両国企業が加わる作業部会を立ち上げて詳細を詰める。ロシア南部の港から20年に最大200万トンの石油を輸出する契約も印国営石油インディアン・オイルと結んだ。
ボストークはロシアのプーチン大統領の側近、セチン氏が音頭をとる一大事業だ。東シベリアの複数の油田を開発し、生産量は30年までにロシア全体の2割近くに当たる年1億トンに達する可能性がある。ロシアは米中に次ぐ石油消費国インドを最大の供給先とみる。投資額は10兆円を超えるとされ、セチン氏は19年12月に訪日し、日本企業にも出資を要請している。
軍事協力の進展もアピールした。ロシア連邦軍事技術協力庁の幹部が5日、インドで開かれた防衛産業展示会を訪れ、ミサイル防衛システム「S400」の同国への納入見通しを確認したとタス通信などに明かした。21年末までに納入や運用に向けた研修を始めるという。米国の反対にもかかわらず、インドが導入契約時の計画通りに進める構えを示した。
同幹部はインド向けのロシア製自動小銃「カラシニコフ」の共同生産を20年に始める用意があるとも語った。ロシア製戦車の現地生産の許可も28年まで延長し、約460両がつくられるという。軍拡を進めるインドは米国などとの交渉でも武器の自国内生産を訴える。ロシアはこの要請に応じ、過去3年間で150億ドル(約1兆6500億円)の兵器を受注した。
印ロ両国は米国や中国との関係をにらんでいる。インドは対中けん制で協力するトランプ政権から関税優遇措置を停止された。米国による対イラン制裁で、イラン産原油の輸入停止を迫られ、調達先の多角化を進めている事情もある。国境問題で対立する中国とも、対米を念頭に貿易拡大に向けた協議を検討している。米中ロをてんびんにかけ、利益を引き出す狙いが透ける。
ロシア側は欧米の対ロ制裁が長期化しており、中国に続いてインドとの結束強化に動いた。対米関係は膠着し、対話の呼び水としたい核軍縮協議も進捗は鈍い。新型肺炎の流行で、最大の貿易相手国である中国の経済減速に懸念が強まっており、インドとの取引拡大を急ぎバランスを取る思惑もある。
米国は反発しそうだ。トランプ政権は19年にS400を導入したトルコに対し、最新鋭戦闘機の売却を凍結し、一段の制裁もちらつかせて圧力をかけている。米印は17年に米汎用戦闘機の共同生産で合意するなど、インドは米国にとって有望な武器輸出市場でもある。 米ロは「日米印」、「中ロ印」という3カ国の枠組みでそれぞれインドの取り込みを図ってきた。ロシアがもくろむ米印の分断は中国の利益とも一致する。

When writing dates, don't include the ordinal suffix "th" or "st." Just write the number. For instance, write "January 5," not "January 5th." When you confirm something, it means it's definite, which is why I removed "possible."

Feedback

I corrected a little bit more. Again, very well written. It might be easier to get feedback if you broke up your writing into shorter entries. Keep up the good work!
