Спикер Лок сабха (нижней палаты парламента Индии) Шри Ом Бирла провёл тёплую и плодотворную встречу с Его Превосходительством господином Вячеславом Володиным, Председателем Государственной Думы Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации, накануне 12-го Парламентского форума БРИКС 2026 года.
На встрече были подтверждены неизменные узы дружбы, взаимного доверия и понимания между Индией и Россией. В связи с тем, что в этом году две страны отмечают 80-летие дипломатических отношений, обе стороны вновь заявили о своей приверженности дальнейшему укреплению особо привилегированного стратегического партнёрства между Индией и Россией, основанного на взаимном уважении, доверии и общих устремлениях.
В ходе переговоров основное внимание было уделено расширению парламентского сотрудничества на основе постоянного институционального взаимодействия между Лок сабха и Государственной Думой, регулярного обмена парламентскими делегациями, а также более активного взаимодействия между молодыми парламентариями и женщинами-парламентариями. Шри Ом Бирла также рассказал об инициативах Индии по использованию технологий, в том числе платформы «Сансад Бхашини», для того чтобы сделать работу парламента более доступной, инклюзивной и ориентированной на граждан.
Двое руководителей обменялись мнениями об укреплении сотрудничества между парламентами стран БРИКС, о борьбе с терроризмом на основе согласованных международных усилий, а также о продвижении реформы Совета Безопасности Организации Объединённых Наций. Шри Ом Бирла выразил признательность за неизменную поддержку Россией постоянного членства Индии в Совете Безопасности.
Ожидается, что более тесное парламентское взаимодействие придаст новый импульс этому проверенному временем партнёрству и ещё больше укрепит глубокую дружбу и тесные связи между Индией и Россией.

UNESCO adds the Andaman Subduction Volcanoes, comprising Narcondam Island and Barren Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, to India’s World Heritage Tentative List.
Shaped by the Indian Plate sliding beneath the Burma microplate, these two volcanic islands bring together dramatic volcanic landscapes and unique island ecosystems, home to the endemic Narcondam Hornbill, set amid vibrant coral reefs and rich marine life.

ЮНЕСКО (Организация Объединённых Наций по вопросам образования, науки и культуры) включила Андаманские субдукционные вулканы, в которые входят остров Наркондам и остров Баррен на Андаманских и Никобарских островах, в Предварительный список объектов всемирного наследия Индии.
Эти два вулканических острова сформировались в результате погружения Индийской плиты под Бирманскую микроплиту. Здесь сочетаются впечатляющие вулканические ландшафты и уникальные островные экосистемы, где обитает эндемичный нарткондамский калао (калао Наркондам), а вокруг раскинулись яркие коралловые рифы и богатый морской мир.
