Putin’s visit to India LIVE: Russian President Vladimir Putin will begin a two-day visit to India today, marking his first official trip to the country since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022. He is expected to arrive in Delhi on December 4 evening for the 23rd annual India-Russia summit.
During this state visit, he will hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discuss a number of regional and global issues of mutual concern. Putin last visited India in December 2021.
This bilateral meeting is crucial as several agreements are expected to be signed to strengthen the economic partnership between the two nations. Specific areas of interest are business, economics, healthcare, academia, culture and media. The visit comes against the backdrop of a sharp deterioration in India’s relations with the US.
Upon arrival in Delhi, Putin will attend a private dinner hosted by Prime Minister Modi at his official residence on Lok Kalyan Marg.
