PM Modi's Recent Russia Visits

PM Modi visited Russia twice this year and met Russian President Vladimir Putin. In July, Modi was accorded a guard of honour and received by Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov during his visit to Moscow. In a rare gesture, Manturov accompanied the Prime Minister to his hotel in the same car.

During the visit, Putin welcomed PM Modi at his official residence at Novo-Ogaryovo for a "private engagement" during which he praised Modi for the work he has done for the country's progress.

The Ministry of External Affairs had described the private event as a "meeting of two close friends and trusted partners."

In October, PM Modi was warmly welcomed by Putin in Kazan ahead of the BRICS summit in the city. PM Modi had congratulated Putin on Russia's successful presidency of BRICS and said many countries want to join the grouping now. He also invited the Russian President to India next year for the 23rd Annual Summit.
