India has conveyed its opposition to Russia over its joint exercise with Pakistan, a nation which, it said, sponsors and practises terrorism as a matter of state policy. In an interview to Russian news agency Ria Novosti, Indian Ambassador to Moscow Pankaj Saran said, the exercise will create further problems. The remarks came ahead of the bilateral meeting in Goa on Saturday between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin.<br/><br/>Both leaders will also attend the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa (BRICS) summit on Sunday. Mr Saran also said, there are some burning issues like terrorism before the world today and the BRICS countries will certainly address the threat of terrorism faced by all the member countries.<br/><br/>India has been communicating its unhappiness to Russia over its joint military exercises with Pakistan. However, Moscow maintains that they hold similar military drills with other countries of the region as well. Russia had held first-ever joint military exercise with Pakistan in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa region last month.
