India, Russia To Launch Joint-Advanced Computing Center In Moscow NEW DELHI (AFP) - India's science and technology minister, Murli Manohar Joshi, will inaugurate a joint advanced computing research center in Moscow during an upcoming visit to Russia, the government said. "The Russian-Indian Advanced Computing Center will be the hallmark of bilateral cooperation between the two sides," a government statement said. India's Center for Development of Advanced Computing and Russia's Institute for Computer Aided Design have been collaborating for six years, it said. The Indian computing center has supplied two versions of its high performance PARAM computer to Russia, which have been used for research into fluid mechanics and structural analysis, it added. Joshi's weeklong visit, which started Sunday, is also aimed at boosting ties in the field of biotechnology. India has the world's second largest scientific manpower, and Russia recognizes India's "tremendous proficiencies" in the IT sector, an Indian foreign ministry official told AFP. Russian President Vladimir Putin is to visit New Delhi in early October on his first official trip to the Indian sub-continent during which he is expected to sign a declaration of a strategic partnership with India. Seventy percent of India's arsenal of warplanes, tanks and naval ships are of Soviet or Russian origin
