Rosatom in talks with India on joint Northern Sea Route project

Russia's largest nuclear energy company Rosatom, which operates the nuclear-powered cargo ship Sevmolput, is in talks with India about possible cooperation on the Northern Sea Route, Director General Alexei Likhachev told RIA Novosti.

Likhachev emphasized that Rosatom not only cooperates with India in the field of nuclear energy, but also considers joint projects in the field of the Northern Sea Route. This global transport corridor will benefit the South Asian country's economy.
