India will ''not'' renegotiate the Gorshkov aircraft carrier deal with Russia, Naval Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta said in Moscow on Friday, but indicated that New Delhi was willing to pay extra for work which were not listed in the original contract.
''We are not (not) going to renegotiate the contract. It is an inter-governmental contract, which has to be fulfilled. We, however, are ready to pay extra for work which was not listed in the original contract,'' Admiral Mehta said.
He, however, said the amount would be much less than the extra $1.2 billion asked by Russia for upgrading the 44-thousand tonne Kiev Class aircraft carrier.
Earlier, reports suggested that New Delhi was ready pay $600-800 million more than the amount stipulated in the original inter-governmental contract.
The Naval Chief, who is here on a six-day visit, said a Russian team was presently in India to negotiate the financial issue, which he hoped will be concluded within three months.
''We hope that all the financial issues will be closed within two-three months and a team of Rosoboronexport (ROE) is currently in New Delhi,'' he said.
Admiral Mehta, who on Sunday will visit the Sevmash shipyard where Gorshkov is undergoing refitting, justified the cost escalation, saying it was due to replacement of unusable components, which were earlier presumed to be fit.
''For example, initially we thought a pump was OK and its servicing was enough, but when disassembled it turned out unserviceable and we have to replace it with new one, such is the case with cabling,'' the Naval Chief said.
Earlier on Thursday, the Commander-in-Chief of Russian Navy, Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky assured Admiral Mehta that his government was doing everything possible to rectify the situation with Gorshkov and slippages in other projects for the Indian Navy.
The delay in the lease of Akula class nuclear submarine to India was also believed to have been discussed by Admiral Mehta with his Russian counterpart as it has jeopardise the training of the naval crews for the country's indigenously developed nuclear submarine.
The Naval Chief also strongly denied media reports that the US offered its Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier to India, saying: ''It is a canard, an imagination of you journalists.''
''Nobody offered it to us and we don't need it. It is too old and too big for harbours,'' Admiral Mehta said. |

British Empire Is Up
To Its Old Evil Tricks
by Helga Zepp LaRouche
Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche is the chairwoman of the Civil Rights Solidarity Movement (BüSo) in Germany. Her article has been translated from German.
While Bundesbank chairman Axel Weber, over Easter, was calling his colleague at the American Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, and other central bank heads, hectically, but without result, in a desperate search for measures by which the meltdown of the financial system could somehow be brought under control, the financial oligarchy escalated its efforts to destabilize many regions of the world, and to strengthen its global control under a new version of the British Empire.
Before the reader rejects this short characterization of the situation in disbelief, with the argument—"But the British Empire doesn't exist any more!" he or she should recall that this is not the first time that old wine was proffered in new bottles. Many apparently separate developing daily events don't make the slightest sense, if you don't look at them in their strategic context. In the face of Orwellian control of the media, it is even more necessary, to judge contemporary developments with the eye of an historian, who has not forgotten the lessons of, for example, the 20th Century.
The economic strengthening of China, Russia, and India would lead, under normal circumstances, to the point that these countries, in five or ten years, would not only have world-power status, but also could pull past the Anglo-American-centered empire, in the economic sphere. It is absolutely understood in leading circles of these three nations, that it is the policy of the British Empire to, by all means, destroy the strategic partnership among Russia, China, and India—to separate them, in order to destroy each, one by one.

Just as the United States is seeking to get control over the Indian nuclear energy program through the proposed U.S.-Indian nuclear treaty, which has been fully rejected by India's Parliament and scientists, so Great Britain wants to extend control, through its special relationship with France at the just-concluded summit, over nuclear energy worldwide. Industry Minister John Hutton explained that Great Britain would take the lead in the development of nuclear energy globally,
