Earlier this year, in July, Prime Minister Modi visited Russia for two days. This was his first trip since the Ukraine war started.
He met President Putin at his home outside Moscow and later at the Kremlin.
Before this trip, Modi last visited Russia in 2019 for a forum in Vladivostok, where he also met Putin.
They had a short meeting in September 2022 in Uzbekistan during a summit.
After his July visit, PM Modi posted a photo with Putin on social media, saying, “Stronger ties between our nations will greatly benefit our people.”
