Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly planning a visit to Russia in early July, as per diplomatic sources. This visit, if realized, would mark Modi’s first trip to Russia in nearly five years, since his last visit in September 2019. The potential visit is being considered for the annual India-Russia summit, a crucial event in the strategic partnership between the two nations.
Russian media has reported active preparations for Modi’s visit, with Kremlin official Yuri Ushakov confirming the arrangements. If the visit materializes, Modi is expected to engage in the India-Russia annual summit with President Vladimir Putin, following a three-year gap since their last meeting. The annual summit serves as the highest institutional dialogue mechanism between India and Russia, with 21 summits held alternately in both countries.
The India-Russia partnership spans various sectors, including defense, energy, and trade. Both countries have historically shared strong ties, and the annual summit provides a platform for discussing bilateral cooperation and regional issues of mutual interest. Modi’s visit to Russia holds significance in further strengthening the strategic relationship between the two nations.
