Grooms aplenty, 'bride' India should pick right match: Russia

NEW DELHI: Russia sees India as a bright and beautiful "bride", surrounded by many grooms but want New Delhi to pick the "right match".

"India now seems to be a beautiful, radiant bride. There are so many bridegrooms always around, proposing their kind and.....well, India is Russia's sister, we want a very good match for her. But we are very much against if that bridegroom could deceive one day," Russian Ambassador to India Alexander Kadakin told reporters here today.

He was apparently referring to various world leaders visiting India for having partnership with New Delhi.

Asked about how he sees India-US ties, he said his country was not "jealous" of improving relations between the two. He said Russia was also in the process of expanding its relations with the US.
