Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in India on a trip aimed at strengthening military and trade ties.

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京抵达印度,此次访问意在增强双方间的军事、贸易联系。

Mr Putin and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are expected to sign a number of major arms deals.
 
Moscow has long been Delhi's key weapons supplier but has lost several major deals to Western companies in recent years.
 
Trade between Russia and India is currently worth about $10bn (£6bn) a year, but growth has slowed recently.
 
Ahead of the one-day visit, Mr Putin said that he wanted to increase bilateral1 trade to $20bn by 2015.
 
There was a last-minute change of the venue2 of the meeting between Mr Putin and Mr Sigh because of security concerns, following protests in Delhi over a gang rape3 of a female student. 
 
The two leaders will now meet at Mr Singh's residence - not near Delhi's imposing4 India Gate, where the protests took place over the weekend.
 
Moscow's concern
 
In an article in India's Hindu newspaper, Mr Putin described as a "historic step" the declaration of strategic partnership5 between the two counties signed in 2000. 
 
The Russian leader also said that the military co-operation between the two nations has reached an "unprecedented6 level". 
 
Russia's currently accounts for some 70% of India's arms purchases, the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi reports. 
 
But India has recently signed a number of big defence contracts with the US and other countries, including France and Israel, our correspondent says. 
 
Russia is concerned, he adds, that its traditional position as India's main arms supplier could be under threat.
