Russia is ready to expand radio broadcasting to India in local languages, Russia’s prime minister Vladimir Putin stated during his video link with India. “ I’m glad that India is interested in what is going on in Russia and the features of the Voice of Russia are popular”, Vladimir Putin said answering one of the questions.
The Voice of Russia radio is broadcasting to South Asia in Hindi and Urdu but used to broadcast in all Indian languages during Soviet times. “It’s sad that now broadcasting to India is only in two languages. Russia’s government has to work in this direction”, Mr Putin said.
