Report on Trade Relations from India's Moscow Embassy

1954
Description: In his report, Second Secretary P.N. Kaul explores the pros and cons of India developing closer economic relations with the Soviet Union. Citing various changes in Soviet ideology, including a post-Stalin willingness to do business with non-Communist countries, Kaul writes positively of the exisiting India-USSR trade agreement and believes that India is well positioned to seek Soviet assistance in developing its natural resources. Finally, Kaul mentions the Soviet financial contribution to the UN Economic and Social Council, noting the possibility of India applying for funds. Attached to the report are comments from various Indian ministries, raising concerns about the technical aspects of collaboration and as well as diplomatic repercussions of closer relations with the Soviet Union.
