(MENAFN) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Russia on Monday, marking his first bilateral trip in his new term. This visit is significant, as the India-Russia relationship is supported by a robust historical and institutional framework, characterized by a high level of trust—arguably the strongest of any bilateral relationship that Russia maintains. This enduring partnership remains resilient despite the ongoing global geopolitical shifts, conflicts, and various challenges that directly affect both nations.
Moscow and New Delhi engage in frequent, candid discussions regarding issues related to China, a topic that has gained prominence in the current global environment as Beijing's ambitions become increasingly apparent. Additionally, Russia is set to host the upcoming BRICS+ Summit, which involves over 200 preparatory meetings, indicating a busy agenda for both leaders.
Modi's recent attendance at the G7 summit in Italy, where he interacted with various leaders, including Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky, adds another layer to this visit. Zelensky has expressed that India could play a significant role in mediating the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, given the unique relationship shared between India and Russia. As Modi prepares for his discussions in Moscow, a wide array of topics remains on the table, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the bilateral relationship.
