Major announcements are unlikely, but the visit is meant to signal that India and Russia remain close.
The last time Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met was in Uzbekistan in 2022.
India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra told reporters in New Delhi that given the lack of recent summits, several issues on the bilateral agenda “have piled up, which need to be addressed”. “Nevertheless, behind closed doors, Mr Putin may face questions from Mr Modi about the increasingly close ties between Russia and China,” he said.in office in June. His decision to travel to Russia instead of neighbouring countries like Bhutan, Maldives and Sri Lanka marks a break in convention for Indian leaders.
Future arms deals could also be on the agenda, according to Mr Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, a Moscow-based defence think-tank.
