India:

This visit comes after PM Modi’s visit to Russia last year. The two leaders are now ready to take their diplomatic and economic ties to new heights. The aim is to double their trade to over $100 billion annually. This growth is expected through enhanced trade routes, including the Chennai-Vladivostok maritime corridor, which will bring fresh supplies from Russia to India.

Lavrov shared that this visit marks a new phase in the “special and privileged strategic partnership” between India and Russia. It’s a significant step in redefining their bilateral cooperation. The visit also aims to implement President Putin’s “new economic roadmap” for 2030, focusing on mutual growth and cooperation.

The two countries are committed to expanding their trade and business cooperation. The ongoing efforts will build a fair, multi-polar international order. India and Russia believe that strong bilateral relations will benefit both their people and the world.

In the coming months, the world will be watching as Putin’s visit to India unfolds. The visit is expected to bring many opportunities for both nations. It’s a sign of how strategic partnerships can pave the way for progress.
