Moscow/New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin has received an invitation to visit India from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the dates for his visit will be set in early 2025, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said at a briefing.
“Our leaders have an agreement to hold meetings once a year. This time, it’s our turn,” Ushakov noted.
“We received Mr. Modi’s invitation and we will certainly consider it positively,” he added.
“We will figure out the tentative dates early next year,” Ushakov said, according to a statement from the Russian Embassy.
Putin and Modi maintain regular contact, holding telephone conversations once every couple of months. The two leaders also hold in-person meetings, particularly on the sidelines of international events.
In July, the Indian prime minister made a two-day visit to Moscow to take part in the 22nd Russia-India summit. In October, Modi visited the Russian city of Kazan for the BRICS group’s summit.
