Although the Indo-Russian relation is traced back to about the beginning of the 4th BC, officially the relation began after India achieved independence from the British in 1947, he said.
Times have changed and with it many changes have taken place in both countries.
Yet the time tested relation of friendship between the two countries and their people is still alive and kicking even today, the CM added.
He also exuded confidence that the Russian film festival and observance of the 70th anniversary of 'Victory over Fascism' will go a long way in strengthening the Indo-Russian friendship and cooperation.
The CM also said that in order to survive, human species should move from the information and knowledge culture to a wisdom based culture.
