Moscow and New Delhi are discussing the joint production of fifth-generation Sukhoi jets

Russian President Vladimir Putin will discuss the joint production of Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jets with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his trip to Delhi this week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

New Delhi has encouraged defense firms from friendly countries, including Russia, to work with domestic arms manufacturers to bolster the prime minister's 'Make in India' initiative.

"The issue of Su-57s certainly will be on the agenda during Putin's upcoming visit to India," Peskov said.

Discussing Chabahar Port and the Chennai-Vladivostok trade route are also on the agenda for Putin's visit to India, the spokesman added.

Chabahar, Iran is a crucial node in the International North- South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a multimodal transport network that connects India with Russia, Central Asia, and Europe. India has invested in developing the port.

Peskov said Russia is expanding joint production with India in many areas and will continue this. "Whatever can be shared with India, will be shared," he said.

New Delhi is willing to listen to Moscow's position on the Ukraine conflict, Peskov added. "India wants to listen to us, we want to explain ourselves, India hears us, and it's a mutual understanding. So, we do appreciate it," he said.

The Kremlin spokesman said Russia enjoys "a very, very high level of cooperation" with both India and China.

Putin will be making his tenth visit to India on December 4-5.
