PTI and TASS Sign Landmark Cooperation Agreement to Bolster India-Russia Media Ties

New Delhi, December 5, 2025 – The Press Trust of India (PTI) and Russian news agency TASS have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening the exchange of news content and perspectives between India and Russia. The agreement was formalized at the India-Russia Business Forum in New Delhi, coinciding with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India.

PTI CEO and Editor-in-Chief Vijay Joshi and TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov signed the agreement at Bharat Mandapam, marking a significant step towards fostering greater understanding and collaboration between the two nations.

“We are opening a new page in Russian-Indian media cooperation. Our cooperation will help make the news exchange more efficient, diverse and transparent,” stated Mr. Kondrashov. He emphasized the importance of the partnership in light of the strong strategic ties between Russia and India, which extend beyond economic cooperation to encompass energy, food security, military-technical cooperation, and cultural exchange. “The mass media is a bridge between our peoples, between our cultures. Thanks to PTI and TASS, this bridge will be even more reliable and stronger,” he added.

Mr. Joshi echoed these sentiments, highlighting the agreement as a renewal of their commitment to truth and direct reporting in a world often filtered through Western-centric perspectives. “Today we take a meaningful step forward. We are renewing our commitment to see events and growth in our countries first hand,” he said.

He further stated that the collaboration seeks to broaden that horizon—to bring in voices, stories, and viewpoints from our countries directly without any third-party filters.

Mr. Joshi said the collaboration reminds the two news agencies why journalism matters—to inform, to connect, and to uphold truth above all. “Together, let us build a stronger, more trusted media ecosystem for the world we share,” he added.

The agreement is expected to facilitate a more diverse and balanced flow of information, providing audiences with direct insights into developments in both India and Russia.
