By A Staff Reporter

Moscow/New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India soon, as confirmed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a televised address. While the exact dates of the visit have not been disclosed, Lavrov stated that preparations are in progress.

The visit follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official trip to Russia last year, where he extended an invitation to President Putin. Lavrov emphasized the strong bilateral ties between the two nations, stating, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his first foreign visit to Russia after being re-elected for a third consecutive term. Now it is our turn."

Putin’s visit is expected to further strengthen Indo-Russian cooperation across various sectors, including defense, energy, trade, and technology. Both nations have been longstanding strategic partners, with collaborations spanning decades.

During PM Modi’s visit to Russia, discussions focused on deepening economic ties, expanding military-technical cooperation, and exploring new opportunities in energy and space collaboration. President Putin’s upcoming visit is expected to reinforce these commitments and pave the way for new agreements.
