Pictureby Prem Singh New Delhi, Dec. 11 (Reuters): Russia threw its weight behind China's massive One Belt One Road plan to build trade and transport links across Asia and beyond, suggesting to India on Monday that it find a way to work with Beijing on the signature project. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said New Delhi should not let political problems deter it from joining the project, involving billions of dollars of investment, and benefiting from it. Lavrov was speaking here after a three-way meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj at which, he said, India's reservations over the Chinese project were discussed. Russia, all the countries in central Asia, and European nations had signed up to the Chinese project to boost economic cooperation, he said. Swaraj said the three countries had very productive talks on economic issues and the fight against terrorism.
