Washington DC (USA), Sept 28 (ANI): Answering question on India’s plan on acquiring military hardware from Russia following the sanctions imposed on the vast country by numerous nations, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India will continue to make choices in national favour. “Don't think we've faced any problems in terms of servicing or spare parts supply we've got in past from Russia. Where we get our military equipment is not a new issue or changed due to geo-political changes. We exercise a choice that is in our national interest,” said the External Affairs Minister while addressing a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
