Dr Manmohan Singh receives an honorary doctorate at Moscow State Institute of International Relations, a first for an Indian. The PM is in the Russian capital on a two-day visit for the 14th India-Russian annual summit at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin.

The PM tweets, "every visit to Russia reaffirms to me the abiding comfort and confidence that mark our relationship. Russia has stood by India at moments of great international challenge, when our own resources were limited and our friends were few. Following Indias independence and consistently since then, India and Russia have built a sound partnership."
