The capital regions of India and Russia agreed on Thursday to cooperate in infrastructural development and advanced medical services and enhance the youth exchanges between them.
"We have invited Moscow to take part in our infrastructural development, modern surface transport like ecological clean trolley buses as well as water management and recycling," Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit told reporters in Moscow at the end of her four-day Russia visit.
A business delegation of Moscow will visit New Delhi later this year to probe the concrete areas of cooperation.
"We have offered exchange of advanced medical services available in Moscow and top Delhi clinics at one-tenth of similar services in the US," said Dixit, who led a large team of government officials, business community and artists for the Days of Delhi festival in Moscow.
The Delhi chief minister said there was ample scope in IT cooperation between the two capitals.
"During interaction with Delhi business team, Moscow has shown interest in Indian software for their metal exchange and many other IT-projects, including local e-governance," Dixit said, summing up her meeting with the members of Moscow Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov has proposed to enhance youth exchanges between the two national capitals, through the visits of school children, students, young artists and cultural workers, she said.
