Indian PM Manmohan Singh is in Moscow for a two-day visit, the latest in a series of yearly meetings between the leaders of the two traditional allies- India and Russia. The two countries have had close links since Soviet times and India remains a leading buyer of Russian weaponry. The two sides are expected to sign an agreement under which Russia would build four nuclear reactors in India. Russia is already building a civilian nuclear power plant in India.
