Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Russia for his first bilateral foreign visit since assuming office for a third consecutive term. Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin are holding talks for a second day, with the meeting marking the resumption of traditional summits between the two countries’ leaders, dating back to 2000.
While the first day of negotiations focused on informal discussions as Putin received Modi at his Novo-Ogaryovo presidential residence just outside Moscow, the second day will be devoted to formal talks, the Kremlin has said.
Moscow and New Delhi have both emphasized the “great importance” of the Indian prime minister’s visit. The last bilateral meeting between Modi and Putin came in 2021, when the Russian leader visited New Delhi. The pair later met separately during the September 2022 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Samarkand. Modi’s last trip to Russia was in 2019, when he attended the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
