Russia backs India’s oil game

Russia has thrown its weight behind India’s move to checkmate the West in the Great Game for access to the vast Central Asian/Caspian and Russian Black Gold treasures.

Russia is co-hosting Mani Shankar Aiyar’s round-table, scheduled for Friday, that will see petroleum ministers from key Central Asian/Caspian oil producing countries and the Big Four Asian buyers chart a course for a new world oil order.
