俄罗斯将为印度建核反应堆

Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to strengthen relations with India through an ambitious plan to help New Delhi build nuclear reactors.

Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have announced agreements in energy and defence, including a plan to manufacture advanced Russian military helicopters in India, and the possibility of exporting them to other countries.

Modi says the two countries agreed on the new Russian-built nuclear reactors to help India meet its burgeoning energy needs.

"Today, we have outlined an ambitious vision for nuclear energy of at least 10 more reactors. It will help the highest standards of safety in the world."

He also sought to reassure his people about the safety of the reactors, saying they would have the highest standards of safety in the world.
