Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Delhi on Thursday evening and headed straight to Prime Minister Modi's residence for a private dinner.
This is Russian President Vladimir Putin's first official visit to India since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022. He arrived in Delhi on the evening of December 4 for the 23rd India-Russia annual summit.
Putin's last visit to India was in December 2021.
During this state visit, Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discuss various regional and global issues of mutual interest. Putin's visit is considered crucial after the souring of relations between the US and India following the imposition of tariffs.
This bilateral meeting is significant as several agreements are expected to be signed, strengthening the economic partnership between the two countries. Areas of particular interest include trade, economy, healthcare, education, culture, and media. The visit is taking place against the backdrop of a sharp deterioration in relations between India and the US.
