President Vladimir Putin will visit India for the first time since the Russia-Ukraine war. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed this on Tuesday. He told news agency ANI that he would soon announce the dates of Putin's visit. We have started preparations for this.
Dimitri said that after PM Modi's two visits to Russia, now President Putin is visiting India, so we are looking forward to it. Meanwhile, news agency PTI quoted sources as saying that Putin may attend the annual Russia-India summit next year.
PM Modi has gone to Russia twice this year. He went to Russia for the BRICS summit on October 22. Earlier in July too, Modi went to Russia for two days. After that he invited Putin to come to India.
Earlier, Russian President Putin visited India in December 2021. He came to India only for 4 hours. 28 agreements were signed between India and Russia during this period. It contained military and technical explanations. Both the countries have set a target of annual trade of 30 billion dollars (2 lakh 53 thousand crore rupees) by 2025.
Putin visited India on December 6. Many agreements were signed between India and Russia during this period.
Putin has avoided traveling to other countries since the arrest warrant was issued In March last year, the ICC issued an arrest warrant against Putin. The court found Putin responsible for war crimes based on allegations of abduction and deportation of children in Ukraine. This was the first time that the ICC had issued an arrest warrant against the top leader of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The United States, Russia, China, Britain and France are permanent members of the UNSC.
Since then, Putin has avoided traveling to other countries. He did not come to India to attend the G20 summit last year. He also did not attend the G20 summit in Brazil this year. In his place, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov attended both events.
