President Dmitry Medvedev and his delegation of Russian government officials and business people are visiting Mumbai, the financial and entertainment-production capital of India, on the second and final day of their visit to India.
Medvedev was heading to Mumbai after a stop in Agra to see the Taj Mahal mausoleum, a leading Indian tourist site.
In the capital, New Delhi, one day earlier, Medvedev held talks with the Indian leadership on ways to deepen Russian-Indian military and trade cooperation. The Russian and Indian sides also signed a series of deals in the nuclear and military spheres projected to be worth billions of dollars.
The pacts included a deal on the joint design and development of a fighter aircraft with radar-evading capabilities.
The new "stealth" jet is intended to replace the Indian air force's fleet of aging Soviet-era MiG-29 jets.
