Vladimir Putin Lauds Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Leadership
In a significant diplomatic development in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his high-level discussions with Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. Putin emphasized that under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, the bilateral and economic ties between India and Russia have scaled new heights, overcoming numerous global challenges.
The Russian leader noted that the deep mutual trust and strong personal rapport between New Delhi and Moscow have served as a stabilizing factor in international politics. This appreciation comes at a time when global supply chains are under immense pressure due to geopolitical tensions and international sanctions.
Expanding Economic Horizons and Strategic Partnerships
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to Moscow focused heavily on reinforcing bilateral cooperation in critical sectors such as energy, defense, technology, and trade. Despite mounting external pressures, India has consistently maintained its strategic autonomy, prioritizing national interests by continuing robust trade relations with Russia.
President Putin particularly highlighted the exponential growth in bilateral trade volume, driven largely by increased energy cooperation and supply of essential commodities. Both nations are also actively exploring alternative payment mechanisms to facilitate seamless commercial transactions using national currencies.
