India and Russia have a long-standing bond that dates several years back. Since the signing of the Declaration of India- Russia Strategic Partnership in 2000, this enduring bond has evolved into a profound alliance.  This strategic partnership has elevated collaboration to new heights, encompassing political, security, defence, trade, economy, science, technology, and cultural domains. In his recent visit to Russia, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar rightly said that Geopolitics and strategic convergence will always keep India–Russia ties on a positive trajectory.

The synergy between the two nations extends beyond diplomatic ties, fostering deep-rooted cooperation across multifaceted dimensions. India and Russia's enduring relationship is a testament to shared values and mutual respect, reinforcing their commitment to advancing bilateral interests and contributing to global stability through a robust and multifaceted strategic partnership.

The host has taken this responsibility as a tribute to humanity and to serve her home country - the Republic of India in the promotion of international cooperation in education, sciences, culture, communication and information to secure peace and security across regions and the globe. REVA University believes in aligning with national strategic interests and thus serves towards the world order. Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be construed, so REVA University simply follows this thought and hence wants to cultivate such minds that only aspire for peace, security and order in the comity of nations.

Also, REVA University believes that it is its fundamental duty to engage students in international relations and geopolitics discourse to provide a holistic educational experience. This approach offers quality education, broad exposure and the freedom to pursue diverse research interests, which is the hallmark of REVA University. By encouraging, motivating, and guiding young minds, the University aims to cultivate a critical mass of strategic analysts. This strategic intellectual pool contributes to shaping India’s perspectives on the evolving global geopolitical landscape.
