According to the diplomat, Russia, China and India share common positions on many world's problems. "We come out for fair and balanced multi-polar world order and against unilateral actions and dictatorship in international relations. We have common positions on Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism, religious extremism and drug trafficking," Mr. Trubnikov said.
"We have good prospects of trilateral energy cooperation. I expect considerable progress in this sphere in the near future," the diplomat noted.
Russia regards India as a priority candidate to acquire the status of observer at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), he said.
In his words, the recent SCO summit in Tashkent called on international organizations and forums of the Asia-Pacific region to launch a dialogue on the formation of the common regional security and cooperation system.
"We expect India, one of the key countries in South Asia and member of the South Asian Regional Cooperation Association, to play an important role in this process," Vyacheslav Trubnikov said.
