Russian President Vladimir Putin may visit India next year, though no final decision has been made yet. Sources from both countries are exploring the possibility of the visit.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended an invitation to President Putin during their meeting on the sidelines of a summit in Moscow in July this year. The visit, if confirmed, will further strengthen ties between the two nations.
Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov has acknowledged the planned visit but did not specify any dates. Both governments are expected to coordinate the details in the coming months.
India and Russia share a strong relationship, with cooperation in various fields like defense, energy, and trade. A visit from President Putin would provide an opportunity for both leaders to discuss key bilateral issues and global matters.
If the visit materializes, it will be an important step in maintaining and enhancing the long-standing partnership between India and Russia. Discussions are likely to focus on strategic collaborations, economic ties, and geopolitical challenges. For now, both sides are working on the logistics to make this significant visit possible.
