An Indian journalist expresses concern about the growing military ties between China and Pakistan. He highlights that about eighty percent of Pakistan’s military hardware is of Chinese origin and that China provides the country with advanced technology and intelligence. He asks the Russian President if he would take steps to ensure that India’s security interests are not compromised due to Russia's good relations with both China and Pakistan. He also requests updates on the delivery of the S-400 missile systems and other joint military projects with Russia.
Vladimir Putin emphasizes that he is well aware of the complicated border issues between India and Pakistan but disagrees with the claim that Pakistan is under Chinese control. He points out that Pakistan is a large country with diverse international ties that are essential for its development. He notes that many nations, including Pakistan, are strengthening their relations with China because it is one of the world's leading economies. This cooperation is seen as a strategic move for any nation seeking to improve its economic and social standing.
