Swaraj met Lavrov on the sidelines of Eastern Economic Forum being held in Vladivostoz.

She said the ties between the two nations were solid like a rock, according to a tweet by the Indian embassy in Russia.

Details of their discussion were not immediately available.

Earlier in the day, Swaraj attended the India-Russia Business Dialogue at the forum.

She said India was keen to expand its economic ties with Russia's resource-rich Far East and sought Russian government's assistance in facilitating Indian investors in the region.

Swaraj said under the 'Make in India' and 'Start-up India' programmes the Indian government has made concerted efforts to attract technology, investments and best practices from around the world.
