Russian President Vladimir Putin said that uranium was becoming one of the 'most in-demand energy commodities', as he and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Atom pavilion of VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy) in Moscow on Tuesday.
"Most importantly, we possess the second largest uranium reserves in the world. Uranium is becoming one of the most in-demand energy commodities," Putin said.
Footage shows CEO of Rosatom state corporation Alexei Likhachev giving a tour of the exhibition to the leaders.
In turn, Likhachev accused Western countries of hindering the development of the nuclear industry in Russia and claimed that they had tried to close the country's programme.
"The West suggested closing our country's nuclear industry for $700 million and reaching zero nuclear energy generation in the Russian Federation by 2024. People were not getting paid, neither in the energy industry, nor in military production," he said.
Modi arrived in Moscow at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin for bilateral talks. The Indian leader is expected to attend a number of events in the Russian capital during the visit on July 8-9.
His last trip to Russia was in 2019, when the PM attended the Far Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok. He will travel to Austria at the conclusion of his visit.
