Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India on December 4 and 5 for the 23rd Annual India-Russia Summit. The visit is taking place at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During the visit, Putin will meet Modi to review how the India-Russia partnership has progressed in the past year. Both sides will discuss cooperation in defence, trade, energy, science and technology, and cultural exchanges. They are also expected to talk about major global and regional issues.
President Droupadi Murmu will also host a state banquet in honour of Putin.
According to official statements, India and Russia will use the summit to plan the next steps in their long-standing “Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership.” Several agreements and a joint statement are likely to be announced.
This will be Putin’s first visit to India since 2021 and comes at a time when the two countries continue to expand cooperation in defence and energy, despite global geopolitical pressures.
