MOSCOW (AP) Indias Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Moscow on Monday for a two-day visit, his first since Russia sent troops into Ukraine, complicating the relationship between the longtime partners and pushing Russia closer to Indias rival, China.
Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin at his residence outside Moscow, to be followed by talks at the Kremlin on Tuesday. Modi last traveled to Russia in 2019, when he attended a forum in the far eastern port of Vladivostok and met with Putin. The leaders also saw each other in September 2022 in Uzbekistan, at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization bloc.
Modi posted photos of his arrival in Moscow on the social media platform X, in both Russian and English, saying he was looking forward to further deepening the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between our nations."
Stronger ties between our nations will greatly benefit our people, he wrote, also sharing a picture of himself and Putin hugging.

(113,130 posts)although I'd expect Puting to have sent one of his doubles to greet Modi, Putin is a massive germophobe and he's also a bigot and you just know he'd think anyone from India is filthy and crawling with loathsome diseases.
Modi will be parked at the far end of that 30 foot table if there are any discussions with the real Putin.
Still, it wouldn' t hurt to have Putin's stand-ins hrs de combat for a while.
