Russia, India Expand Cooperation at Bishkek Talks
(MENAFN) Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hold talks in Bishkek on Monday on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, focusing on the continued expansion of bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
Putin says trade between Russia and India grows by more than 2% during the first half of 2026, while travel between the two countries increases by 16% in 2025.
“I would also like to note with satisfaction that Russian-Indian relations continue to strengthen based on the principles of a specially privileged strategic partnership,” he said, crediting Modi’s personal involvement with helping advance ties between the two countries.
Modi, meanwhile, reaffirms India’s support for diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending the war in Ukraine and stresses that disputes should be settled through peaceful means.
"Every day that the war continues, humanity is, in effect, set back a step, whilst every step towards peace gives all of humanity real hope for peace,” he said. “We need to move from endless war to an end to the war, to a cessation of hostilities. And we will need to move precisely in this direction.”
