PM Modi, Russian President Putin meeting in Delhi today

Russian President Vladimir Putin will arrive in India on Monday for a day-long visit. He will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an annual summit having a discussion on terrorism as a common threat to both countries and the regions. It will be preceded by the inaugural 2+2 format dialogue in New Delhi.

During the visit, India and Russia will hold the first 2+2 format dialogue in New Delhi and discuss key bilateral, regional and international issues, including the situation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Putin had said last week that he intends to discuss with PM Modi new “large-scale” initiatives on further developing “specially privileged” Russian-Indian relations.
