Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Expressing satisfaction with the high level of bilateral cooperation, developing on the principles of a particularly privileged Russian-Indian strategic partnership, the leaders discussed in detail the prospects for practical cooperation in such areas as mutual investment, energy, agriculture, transport and logistics.
In addition, Putin and Modi noted the importance of continuing coordination between Russia and India within the framework of the G20 and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
At the request of Modi, the Russian leader voiced his opinion on the situation in Ukraine.
Earlier, Modi refused the annual meeting with Putin because of the situation in Ukraine.
The meeting of the leaders of the two states failed for the second time since 2000.
The summit, usually held in December, was previously canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov later said that the allegations about the cancellation of the meeting are not true.
According to him, such negotiations were not in the schedule of the Russian leader.
The representative of the Kremlin added that next year the schedule of contacts will be agreed.
In September, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said that Delhi continues to call for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine.
He stressed that in order to resolve the conflict, the parties urgently need to come to the negotiating table.
The diplomat noted that this position is shared by Modi, who confirmed it during a conversation with Putin at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Samarkand.

Deeper than diplomacy: There is a reason why New Delhi and Moscow rely on each other

Russia’s respect for India’s policy of strategic autonomy is the core strength of bilateral ties, as the Indian foreign minister’s latest visit proves

Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar’s five-day official visit to Russia was timely and significant for more than one reason.

India and Russia had held annual summits at the leadership level since 2000. This sent an important message in terms of the value attached by the two countries to bilateral ties, but it also conveyed a broader geopolitical message to other international partners of the two countries.

But this practice was broken largely because of Russia’s pre-occupation with the Ukraine conflict and its fallout. The last annual summit took place in 2021.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin could have held a summit on the margins of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg in South Africa or the G20 summit in New Delhi, but Putin did not attend either. While Jaishankar’s visit does not substitute for a summit meeting, it was intended to fill a political gap.

Jaishankar and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have met six times during the year, and the Indian external affairs minister also met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov during the year on the economic agenda. For Jaishankar to visit Russia before the end of the year, undeterred by the Russian winter and holiday season, reflects the importance both sides attach to the further expansion of ties.

Putin has on several occasions praised the Indian prime minister and positively noted the country’s economic progress. At the ‘Russia Calling’ Forum in early December this year, he said that despite pressure from others, he “cannot imagine that Modi could be frightened, intimidated or forced to take any actions, steps, decisions that would at variance with the national interest of India and the Indian people.” He noted that sometimes he is surprised at Modi’s tough stance on Indian national interests. He added that the policy pursued by Modi is the “main guarantor” of the developing bilateral ties.

This is high and unusual praise by Putin. It can be interpreted on several levels – particularly as an acknowledgement that India has resisted pressure from the US and others to condemn Russia over the Ukraine conflict, impose sanctions, and reduce defense ties with Russia. India has, on the contrary, bought discounted Russian oil to the point that Russia has become its biggest oil supplier. It has argued that ensuring this market flow of Russian oil has helped avoid a major spike in oil prices and checked global inflation. Indian-Russian trade has expanded, while the G7 has broken economic and trade ties with Russia.

India played a major role as G20 president in negotiating the part in the Leaders’ Declaration on the Ukraine conflict despite the hardening of the G7 position and that of Russia and China after the G20 summit in Bali. The final text does not mention Russia by name, while the G7 was satisfied that the general formulations in it could be sold as being directed at Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.

Not surprisingly, Putin complimented India for de-politicizing the G20. India chaired the SCO summit in July 2023 and participated in the BRICS summit in South Africa in August 2023. This countered G7 attempts to isolate Russia diplomatically. In fact, the New Delhi SCO Declaration spoke of more effective global institutions, a more representative, just, and multipolar world order based on international law and multilateralism, and criticized the unilateral application of economic sanctions – a clear critique of the Western-dominated global system.

It is against this backdrop that Putin received Jaishankar at the Kremlin, the first time that such a gesture has been made to him personally. The general unavailability of Putin to visiting foreign ministers is well-known.

Jaishankar delivered a personal message from Modi to Putin. During the meeting, Putin invited his “friend Modi” to visit Russia in 2024 and noted that Indian-Russian ties were on the whole developing well. He said that he had been briefing Modi on developments in Ukraine, remarking that he understands the Indian prime minister is willing to do his utmost to resolve the matter by peaceful means. He added that he would give additional information to Jaishankar on Ukraine.

India has continued to strengthen ties with the US, including in the defense domain. It is a member of the Quad and a strong supporter of the Indo-Pacific concept, both of which are intended to deter China’s regional ambitions. Russia has reservations about the Quad and the Indo-Pacific concept, which it sees as the US engaging in bloc politics in Asia.

Putin’s praise for Modi and India and the gesture of receiving Jaishankar takes into consideration these realities of India’s foreign policy which are meant to safeguard the larger national interests. At the core of this is Russia’s respect for India’s policy of strategic autonomy. Jaishankar’s high-profile visit and the vigorous language used to mark the importance of India’s traditional ties with Russia would have caught Washington’s attention.

Jaishankar noted that after talks with Lavrov, “what clearly came out was that India-Russia relations remain very steady, remain very strong, they are based on our strategic convergence, on our geopolitical interests, and because they are mutually beneficial.” The two leaders discussed political cooperation within international organizations such as BRICS, the SCO, etc.

Indian-Russian trade is at an all-time high, exceeding $50 billion last year, and should pass that figure this year. It includes energy, fertilizers, coking coal, and other items, for which long term arrangements were discussed. India intends to expand investments in Russia’s oil and gas sector.

On the nuclear side, two important amendments were agreed to which will take the Kudankulam nuclear power project forward. Mutual investments, progress on a bilateral investment treaty, and the resumption of negotiations between India and the Eurasian Economic Union for a free trade agreement will be resumed in the second half of January 2024.

Moscow and New Delhi will expand cooperation in the Russian Far East. India expects a large representation from this region at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit in January 2024.

Connectivity between India and Russia will be critical for expanding trade ties – connectivity from western India through the International North-South Transport Corridor, and connectivity from eastern India, from Chennai to Vladivostok, and the polar route. To promote tourism, India is open to increasing the number of flights from India every week.

The talks between Jaishankar and Lavrov were comprehensive. They discussed the global strategic situation, Ukraine, Gaza, the Indo-Pacific, ASEAN, Afghanistan, UN-related matters, the challenges facing the Global South, and the building of a multipolar order. China would undoubtedly have been discussed, but diplomatic discretion here would be normal.

In the joint press conference, Lavrov spoke of prospects for more defense cooperation, including joint production of modern weapons under New Delhi’s ‘Make in India’ program, and, importantly, expressed respect for India’s efforts to diversify its defense ties. He noted bilateral cooperation in rocket engine manufacturing and satellite navigation systems.

Jaishankar’s visit was productive in maintaining the momentum of Indian-Russian ties, which have been built over 60 years, a relationship that he believes is not just about politics, diplomacy, or economics, but is much deeper.

Content: India, Russia express deep concern on situation in Middle East

Moscow: India and Russia have expressed “deep concern” on the situation in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Gaza and called for immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

The joint Statement following the 22nd India-Russia Annual Summit said the two sides called for the effective implementation of the relevant United Nations General Assembly resolutions and United Nations Security Council resolution 2720 and for immediate safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip.

In the joint statement, India and Russia said, “The Sides expressed deep concern on the situation in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Gaza. In this regard, they called for the effective implementation of the relevant UNGA resolutions and UNSC resolution 2720 and for immediate safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip.”

“They also called for the effective implementation of the UNSC resolution 2728 for a lasting and sustainable ceasefire. They equally called for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages as well as humanitarian access to address their medical and other humanitarian needs,” it added.

The two nations affirmed their support for Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations and reiterated their commitment to the principle of the two-state solution.

The joint statement reads, “They reaffirmed their support for Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations and reiterated their unwavering commitment to the principle of the two-state solution according to internationally accepted basis.”

The conflict in Gaza escalated after the October 7 attack by Hamas, where about 2,500 terrorists breached the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip, leading to casualties and the seizure of hostages.

Israel has since, characterised its Gaza offensive as targeting Hamas’ infrastructure with the goal to eliminate the entire terror group while making efforts to minimize civilian casualties.

The statement was issued after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in Moscow.

India and Russia agreed to strengthen joint efforts to build an architecture of equal and indivisible regional security and to intensify consultations on complementarities between integration and development initiatives in Greater Eurasian space and the regions of the Indian and Pacific oceans.

The joint statement further said, “The Sides underlined the importance of strengthening cooperation within various regional fora, aimed at deepening regional peace and security, including East Asia Summit, ASEAN Regional Forum on Security (ARF), ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus).”

The two nations noted the importance of expanding efforts to combat climate change and achieving the goals of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.

The joint statement reads, “The Sides noted the importance of expanding efforts to combat climate change and achieving the goals of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.”

“In this regard, the Sides agreed to develop cooperation in the field of preventing climate change and adapting to it, including the exchange of experience on the organization and operation of greenhouse gas emission quota systems, the implementation of joint Russian-Indian investment projects in the field of low-carbon development, as well as sustainable and “green” financing,” it added.

The two nations agreed to continue interaction within G20, BRICS, and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) on key issues like increasing the sustainability and developing resiliency of international supply chains, compliance with free and fair trade rules and climate change, according to the joint statement.

India and Russia welcomed the launch of the BRICS Contact Group on Climate Change and Sustainable Development within the framework of the Environment Working Group under the Russian Chairship in BRICS in 2024.

During his visit to Russia, PM Modi held talks with Russian President Putin. The two leaders also visited the Rosatom Pavilion at the VDNKh Exhibition Centre in Moscow.

The usual US “divide and conquer ” strategy is not working as well, as evidenced by many geopolitical events, including the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Russia.
This was reported on July 8 by the Chinese newspaper Global Times.
An Indian analyst in an article for the publication said that when the conflict in Ukraine began, the United States was very much hoping for a deterioration in relations between India and Russia, but trade interaction between the states only increased.
So, despite the threat of even more American sanctions, Russia has become the largest supplier of oil to India, which, in turn, is the largest buyer of Russian offshore oil.
“Even more irritating to Washington, India took a neutral position on Ukraine, and Modi even refused to attend the peace summit in Switzerland, ” the expert wrote.
Given that the US dollar is at the heart of much of the power of the US empire, the expert is amazed at how India enthusiastically embraced de-dollarization, announcing a digital platform that will allow instant cross-border retail payments to bypass the “mighty dollar. ”
“To sum up, the American empire has proved to be more irrelevant.
The United States has a choice: either join this new and peaceful multipolar world, or become an embittered and isolated hegemon, ” the analyst concluded.
On Monday, Modi arrived in Moscow on an official visit, which will last on July 8 and 9.
At a meeting in Novo-Ogarevo, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Modi on his election as Prime Minister and noted that India ranks third in the world in terms of economy.
The head of the Indian government, in turn, thanked the Russian leader for his words and stressed that “to visit a friend ” is a rarity.
In addition, Modi said during the meeting in the social network X that the talks with Putin, which will be held on Tuesday, will contribute to the further strengthening of friendship between India and Russia.
He also said he looks forward to tomorrow ’ s talks.

Washington, July 10 (IANS) The United States on Tuesday reiterated its concerns over India's ties to Russia and said it has had conversations with New Delhi regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ongoing visit to Moscow but refused to divulge the contents of these.

The Prime Minister’s visit to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin is being followed closely in Washington DC.

"We have had conversations with him in the past 24 hours and I think I'll keep the contents of those private," US State Department spokesperson Mathew Miller said at a briefing, when asked if the US had conveyed to India its concerns since the India and Russia announced a slate of agreements after the PM Modi met President Putin.

Miller’s first response was the same as on Monday when he was asked about the Prime Minister’s visit - that the US has concerns about India’s ties with Russia and has conveyed it privately and directly.

The spokesman spoke of new conversations when asked especially if any conversations had taken place with India in the last 24 hours or after the announcements in Moscow.

Modi Meets Putin, Putin Praises India as ‘ Strong and Reliable Ally ’
Putin, who is visiting India, praised India as a "strong and reliable ally" of Moscow. Putin's visit focused on "energy" and "defense". The foreign ministers and defense ministers of the two sides held their first 2 + 2 meeting and signed a number of military cooperation agreements.
In a joint statement, the two sides reiterated their intention to strengthen defense cooperation and achieve the goal of reaching US $30 billion in bilateral trade by 2025.

Indian diplomats said on Monday that Russia had begun supplying India with S-400 long-range air defense systems.
During Putin ’ s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the two sides also signed a 10-year military cooperation agreement and an oil cooperation agreement.
In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the two sides reiterated their intention to strengthen defense cooperation, including joint research and development and production of military equipment. They also stressed the need to achieve the goal of 30 billion US dollars in bilateral trade by 2025, and strengthen cooperation in energy and satellite navigation.
Speaking to the media before his meeting with Modi, Putin said: "We consider India to be a big country, a friendly country and a security ally."
Putin ’ s trip to India is aimed at strengthening ties with India ’ s traditional allies, which are being eroded by the United States.
To counter China ’ s rise, the United States has established the Quad Security Dialogue (Quad) with India, Japan and Australia, drawing attention from Beijing and Moscow.
During the Cold War, India had close relations with the Soviet Union, a relationship that continues to this day, described by New Delhi as a “special and privileged strategic partnership. ”
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday to discuss defense and trade relations between the two countries to strike a balance with the United States.
"Over the past few decades, there have been many fundamental changes in the world, as well as various geopolitical elements, but India's friendship with Russia has always been the same," Modi said before the meeting with Putin.
India ’ s foreign ministry said the annual bilateral summit covered political and defence issues.
The two leaders also discussed the takeover of the Afghan regime by the Taliban earlier this year, which has led to a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
India and Russia have long had close ties, and both sides have set a goal of reaching US $30 billion in bilateral trade by 2025.
But recently, India and the United States have drawn closer, seeing the United States as a key force in the fight against China.
India, while strengthening its military ties with the United States, is also trying to manage its defense relations with Russia.
India, a major arms importer, relied heavily on the former Soviet Union for its military supplies during the Cold War, and now buys weapons from the United States in a decentralized manner.
Under former US President Donald Trump, India signed more than US $3 billion in arms purchase contracts with the United States, and the two countries ’ armaments trade has increased from zero in 2008 to US $15 billion in 2019.
On the other hand, India ’ s purchase of the Russian-made S-400 missile system to counter China has become a major problem in relations with the United States.
This sophisticated anti-aircraft missile defense system, once available, is expected to give India the strategic deterrent power against China and Pakistan.
However, the United States has asked partners not to purchase Russian-made military equipment, or it may impose sanctions.
In addition, India and Russia held their first 2 + 2 meeting in New Delhi on Monday, where they signed a number of cooperation agreements on "military and small arms".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu arrived in New Delhi on Monday night and held a 2 + 2 meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Igor Sujason and Defense Minister Manmohan Singh.
The Ministerial 2 + 2 meeting was the first between India and Russia.
Singh tweeted after the meeting that discussions on defence cooperation between the two sides had been fruitful and that India valued the "special strategic partnership" with Russia.
He added that the two sides had signed several agreements, contracts and protocols on small arms and military cooperation.
However, Singh and India ’ s Ministry of Defence have yet to release a formal statement or press release disclosing details of the various agreements signed with Russia.
Indian media reported that one of the major agreements was the technology transfer and local production of the Russian-made AK-203 assault rifle.
Under the agreement, India will produce more than 600,000 AK-203 assault rifles in India over the next 10 years through an Indo-Russian joint venture.
Another deal is to extend the 10-year India-Russia military-technical cooperation agreement until 2031.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (December 6, 2021) will host Russian President Vladimir Putin for the 21st India-Russia Annual Summit in New Delhi.

This is the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders after their rendezvous on the side-lines of the BRICS Summit in Brasilia in November 2019.

During the meeting which is likely to take place at 5:30 pm at the Hyderabad House in the national capital, the two leaders will review the state and prospects of bilateral relations and discuss ways to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The Summit is also likely to see Modi and Putin exchange views on regional, multilateral and international issues of mutual interest.

"The visit is in continuation of the tradition of Annual Summits alternately in India and Russia. The visit will provide further impetus to the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership," New Delhi had said while officially announcing Putin's visit to the country.

The last India-Russia Annual Summit was held in September 2019 during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Vladivostok (Russia). The Annual Summit in 2020 could not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

Putin's trip to India will mark his second international trip after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and comes amid the emergence of a new Omicron variant which has affected the schedule of several bilateral and international summits.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in New Delhi on Sunday ahead of the inaugural meeting of the 2 + 2 dialogue mechanism at the level of the foreign and defence ministers.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi had confirmed last month that the agenda for the dialogue will cover political and defence issues of mutual interest.

"The establishment of this new mechanism of two plus two dialogue is expected to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries," he had said.

On the eve of the official visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has just won the third general election, equaling in this indicator with Jawaharlal Nehru himself, experts are trying to unravel the formula that keeps Russian-Indian relations afloat, while not preventing Moscow from maintaining good relations with China.
Nehru ’ s trip to Russia, in fact, turns out to be Modi ’ s first voyage of this level.
He did not have to go for the label directly to the West - the United States would be satisfied with some relatively neutral regional third country, while the Russian Federation caused sharp rejection in Washington.
But Narendra was adamant, and for the first time since 2019 he was going to Moscow.
Even at the site of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, where the Indians, just, found an acceptable format for interaction with China and Pakistan, without losing a diplomatic person, the most populated country in the world was represented not by him, but by the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Although, with all the influence of Subramanyam Jaishankar, his status is lower than that of Xi Jinping and Shahbaz Sharif.
As a rule, all the talk about the burgeoning Russian-Indian friendship, one way or another, boils down to oil.
Indeed, after the imposition of the oil embargo, India quickly broke into the leaders of buyers of black gold from Russia in three and a half years.
Western sanctions do not greatly harm the Indian fleet, and problems with mutual settlements are gradually solved through one-day laying firms, which in India are almost more than the Indians themselves.
This is usually explained by two reasons: India ’ s capacious market critically needs stable energy supplies.
Without them, neither the power station nor the homemade motorcycle will work, and there will simply be no light in the houses.
Oil, food and cooperation.
Indian leader Narendra Modi, the leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People ’ s Party), who was recently elected to the post of Prime Minister of India for the third time, is going to visit Moscow.
In addition, the United States and its allies allegedly look at the oil trade behind their sleeves.
After all, they are playing a major political game with Delhi, in the hope of unleashing the huge human resources of the Indians on China.
The appointment of Rishi Sunak (a British citizen of Indian origin), who suddenly found himself in the post of the already former Prime Minister of Great Britain, judging by many comments, also fit into this strategy.
However, relations between India and Beijing continue to be peaceful – at least in comparison with previous times.
There are very strong suspicions that both of these reasons are part of what is commonly called the Western narrative.
To solve the oil issues, it was enough to send a minister or financier to Russia.
Oil is oil, but Modi and Vladimir Putin will clearly talk about economics and politics.
Moreover, the Indian Prime Minister cannot but understand that his trip to Russia will be regarded in the West as a rather demonstrative slap in the face – because all the rhetoric about the isolation of the Russian leader can now be scrapped.
It does not seem to bother him, because in his third term, Modi hopes to significantly improve the lives of his own citizens.
And this cannot be done without Russian resources and the trust of the Russian authorities.
In anticipation of the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Moscow, the Kremlin said that during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, no topic will be deprived of attention.
According to officials, during the meeting, Modi and Putin will discuss regional and global security, trade, and other topics on the agenda, ” writes the Times of India.
It is understood that India also claims its share of Russian fertilizers – because over the past year, the Russians (along with the Belarusians) confidently lead this cluster in the world market.
It is believed that this is important for Modi – to eliminate the threat of hunger in the poorest states of his country.
But the competition will be great, since South America and Africa claim fertilizers from Russia.
Yes, and the hypocritical Europe itself buys them so much that it has already ruined its own producers – what the Western press is crying about, which yesterday demanded to introduce all possible anti-Russian sanctions.
But Russia also has its own interest, which, above all, implies that India will not only trade with the Russians, but also take care of security issues – both in the Indian Ocean zone and around the world.
We (Russia and India) are jointly involved in integration processes, so regional affairs, regional security and global security are always in the spotlight.
In addition, of course, our bilateral trade and economic cooperation is always in the spotlight, "the Indian press warns, citing a Kremlin spokesman.
Thus, Moscow actively and on equal terms interacts with all influential countries of the world.
The West may not like this, but its parties lost the election to the Modi bloc, which constrains the influence of Americans.
Elections in India: the Russian factor.
As Delhi took from London a hundred tons of goldenIn India, the general parliamentary elections, which began on April 19, ended.
Washington could try another strategy by flooding Delhi with printed money in the form of loans.
But in the face of the huge deficit of the US budget, which even financial gurus talked about, this is clearly not the best option.
Not to mention the fact that external borrowing will still have to be repaid someday.
As for China, the development of Russian-Indian cooperation serves as a security buffer for it.
Despite all the provocations of the West, Delhi will continue to refrain from conflict with Beijing – because any such actions will seriously affect its economy, and especially the oil industry.
However, it is important to remember that interaction with Delhi is not only gasoline, and even not only fertilizers.
India has become famous for breakthroughs in the field of cinema, which Russia probably needs today – although initially in this business did not invest much money.
Well, Indian IT workers are generally ahead of the whole planet, and are often able to get the professionalism of Americans from California.
Local information companies, together with American and Arab investment funds, are lining up to invest in the Indian information sector and develop cooperation with Indian IT corporations such as Jio Platforms.
Three of the four IT professionals in the world market are Indians.
The city of Bangalore, which accounts for 38% of India ’ s IT exports, may overtake San Francisco with its Silicon Valley as the world ’ s most important information technology hub in the coming years.
In short, on the eve of Narenda Modi ’ s visit, it is important to remember that his country is not reduced to pioneering bhai-bhai.
And that the current India is one of those states that quite justifiably claim to participate in global projects.
Cooperation with him is the future, and it should be discussed in Moscow.

Follow the development of events in the broadcast: “Vladimir Putin ’ s working day and a conversation with Biden – all the news ”
As previously reported, on December 6, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited India and held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In the joint document adopted at the end of the meeting, the parties reaffirmed their commitment to the strategic partnership, which should remain the “pillar of global peace and stability ”.
“The general tone of Western pressure on our country on the eve of the upcoming telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States can be characterized by the words“ boycott ” and “sanctions ”: we will exclude you from there, we will not let you there, we will close it to you.
What will we close if, with a country of 1.4 billion people, Russia immediately before this conversation demonstrates the effectiveness of relations of “especially privileged strategic partnership ”, which is considered by the parties as“ a pillar of global peace and stability ”.
It is also significant that special attention during this visit of the Russian President to India was paid to issues of military-technical cooperation.
Vladimir Putin stressed that the parties intend to conduct joint military exercises – what is this like not a warning sign to the United States with its new military-political bloc in the Indo-Pacific region?
In addition, Modi and Putin intend to work closely in the abandoned by the Americans Afghanistan.
In the first nine months of this year, Russian-Indian trade has already grown by more than 38%.
By 2025, the volume of mutual trade should grow to $30 billion.
From the economic and political point of view, the thesis on the line taken by the parties to prepare a free trade agreement between India and the EAEU, as well as on the further expansion of cooperation in the gas sector, on the prospect of India increasing imports of Russian liquefied natural gas, was particularly significant today.
As a “cherry on the cake ” – a signal to the American allies in Tokyo: in Delhi“ the interest of Indian companies in cooperation in the Far East on a wide range of issues – from energy and transport to forest management and tourism was noted.
That's the last one.
The conversation between Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi lasted three and a half hours.
Biden can't handle that much.
And there are not so many important topics on the Russian-American agenda to discuss.
In a word, by holding a face-to-face summit with the Prime Minister of India, the President of Russia has significantly strengthened his position in the upcoming negotiations with the President of the United States, ” said Mikhail Demurin.

Indian diplomatic officials said on Monday that Russia had begun supplying India with S-400 long-range air defense systems.
During Putin's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the two sides also signed a 10-year military cooperation agreement and an oil cooperation agreement.
In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the two sides reiterated their intention to strengthen defense cooperation, including joint research and development and production of military equipment.
The two sides also stressed the need to achieve the goal of 30 billion U.S. dollars in bilateral trade by 2025, and to strengthen cooperation in energy and satellite navigation.
The two sides pointed out that it is necessary for the Eurasian Economic Union and India to start negotiations on a free trade agreement on goods.
Speaking to the media before his meeting with Modi, Putin said: "We consider India to be a big country, a friendly country and a security ally."
Putin ’ s visit to India is aimed at strengthening ties with India ’ s traditional allies, which are being eroded by the United States.

"There have been many fundamental changes and geopolitical elements in the world over the past few decades, but India's friendship with Russia remains the same," Modi said before meeting Putin.
India ’ s foreign ministry said the annual bilateral summit covered political and defense issues.
The two leaders also discussed the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan caused by the takeover of the Afghan government by the Taliban earlier this year.
India and Russia have long had close ties, and both sides have set a goal of reaching $30 billion in bilateral trade by 2025.
Recently, however, India has drawn closer to the United States, believing that the United States is a key force against China.
India is also trying to manage its defense relations with Russia while strengthening its military ties with the United States, the sources said.
India, a major arms importer, relied heavily on the former Soviet Union for armaments during the Cold War, but now it is diversifying its procurement of arms, as well as buying US-made weapons.
During the period of former US President Trump, India signed more than $3 billion of arms purchase contracts with the United States, and the arms trade between the two countries has increased from zero in 2008 to $15 billion in 2019.
On the other hand, India's purchase of the Russian-made S-400 missile system to counter China has become a major problem in relations with the United States.
This sophisticated anti-missile system, once available, is expected to enable India to gain strategic deterrence power against China and Pakistan.

Bloomberg: India will prevent Putin from getting closer to China
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the plan.
Russia ’ s active rapprochement with China worries India, which is countering its growing influence in the region.
Concerned about the expansion of the “limitless partnership ”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi next week will go to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin, writes Bloomberg.
It will be his first visit to Russia since the start of Putin ’ s war in Ukraine and his first trip abroad since Modi took office as prime minister for the third time.
While Moscow will try to present the meeting as proof that Russia has not been isolated since Western sanctions were imposed, Modi ’ s trip is more motivated by a desire to reaffirm the status quo in bilateral relations and limit China ’ s influence, experts and experts close to the Indian government say.
India is wary of Moscow ’ s growing dependence on Beijing, says Swasti Rao, a research fellow at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defense Studies and Analysis at the Indian Ministry of Defense:
The deepening of strategic interaction between Russia and China makes New Delhi uncomfortable, as it is like a best friend sleeping with the enemy.
Given our concerns, it makes sense for the prime minister to go there and talk to Putin at the highest level.
Like China, India has taken advantage of the difficult situation that Russia has found itself in because of the sanctions.
It has more than 20 times increased purchases of Russian oil compared to 2021, saving 13 billion thanks to discounts on it, according to the April report of the rating agency ICRA.
It continues to purchase services and components from Russia to service previously purchased weapons, although major deals do not seem to be going any more.
In 2019-2023, according to the Stockholm Peace Research Institute, India for the first time since the early 1960s purchased less than half of the weapons from Russia / the USSR: the share of imports was only 36% compared to 76% in 2009-2013.
Russia has lost the Indian arms market, which has dominated for more than half a century
Russia has lost the Indian arms market, which has dominated for more than half a century
The meeting between Modi and Putin is expected to discuss the supply of logistics to India to strengthen cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries and resume discussions on joint development of a fifth-generation fighter, but breakthrough agreements in either this or other areas are likely not, informed Indian officials told Bloomberg.
Also, according to them, cooperation in nuclear energy will be discussed.
Payments in rupees for Russian oil for a long time hung on accounts in Indian banks, all of them accumulated by $8 billion.
Although the countries agreed to continue to pay for oil in UAE dirhams and increase purchases of Indian goods, their annual exports to Russia still do not exceed $5 billion.
Fearing sanctions and difficulties with calculations, Indian business is not eager to increase turnover.
Modi ’ s visit is “maintaining the status quo, ” Alexei Zakharov, an expert on India at HSE, told Bloomberg:“ Relations are not deteriorating, but there is no particular desire to improve them. ”
This is the second time that Putin ’ s turn to the East has caused concern among the leading countries in the region.
Thus, Chinese leaders may believe that Putin ’ s rapprochement with North Korea and the conclusion of a military alliance with it during a recent visit to Pyongyang may reduce the dependence of Russia and North Korea on Beijing and provoke unnecessary tension in the region.

Bright steps and a new golden age: What political scientists say about Modi ’ s visit to Russia
Orientalist Nobles: Russia and India can lay the foundation for a new golden age

On July 8 and 9, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the capital of Russia: he has already held an informal meeting with President Vladimir Putin, and bilateral talks have also been held in the Kremlin.
What this visit means for Moscow, Delhi and the world, Life.ru learned from political scientists.
Thus, political scientist, orientalist Sergei Dvoryanov pointed out that in the modern political history of India, Narendra Modi is the second Prime Minister of India after Jawaharlal Nehru, who holds this post for the third consecutive term.
And his trip to Russia took place immediately after the elections and inauguration as the head of the Indian government.
According to the interlocutor Life.ru, now Modi needs bright steps.
According to Dvortsov, Moscow and Delhi share common interests: India has huge human resources, Russia has territories and natural resources.
In addition, the expert is sure that India supports Russia in ideological terms, as both countries have strong spiritual traditions.
In fact, both Modi and Putin are believers.
Our president demonstrates his spiritual beliefs in the same way that Modi does.
Not to mention China.
China is an ancient civilization, but now it is in fact atheistic, because the Communist Party rules.
And this ideology of atheism ultimately reduces everything to economic indicators.
That is, China spiritually, ideologically is not so close to India and Russia.
Sergey Dvoryanov
Political scientist, orientalist
Therefore, the orientalist concludes that on the platform of understanding the commonality in the spiritual mission, the Russian Federation can, together with India, launch new global processes of reorganizing the world.
“The fact that the world needs to be rebuilt is obvious to everyone.
It is India and Russia that today can launch a new model based on spirituality, humanity and the moral principles of justice.
The cornerstones of this model are justice plus mercy.
These two principles are the fundamental basis for building a civilization of the future, a new golden age, ” the political scientist concluded.
Political scientist, associate professor of the Department of Political Science of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Evgenia Voiko states that the visit of Narendra Modi shows that India considers Russia as one of the key partners.
Moreover, now the diplomatic activity of the Russian president is almost at its peak for the entire period of the special military operation, and Delhi is trying not to stay aside.
Moreover, the topic of security, and not only such military-strategic security and nuclear security, but also the topic of transport and logistics security is also on the agenda today.
In addition, India and Russia are members of many integration associations.
This is the SCO, this is BRICS, of course, and the G20.
I mean, there's something to discuss.
Evgenia Voiko
Political scientist, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
According to Voiko, India in the person of Modi is trying to declare itself, to show that it has the opportunity to communicate with Russia, to convey its position and, perhaps, even try to influence the current situation and enter into a certain negotiation process, which is what China and Hungary are doing today.
Therefore, from the point of view of the global agenda, the visit is quite significant, the political scientist concludes.
As for bilateral issues, the expert highlights the North-South transport corridor as a key topic on the agenda of Putin and Modi.
According to her, in the conditions of sanctions, Russia gave this project a new life.
The leaders can also discuss cooperation in nuclear and hydrocarbon energy.
As for the reaction of the West to the negotiations, Voiko believes that the countries are looking at the meeting of Putin and Modi with great interest and attention, perhaps even with some fear.
In addition, the visit of the Prime Minister of India to Moscow dispels the myth of the “isolation ” of the Russian Federation.
Evgenia Vanina, chief researcher at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that after the meeting between Putin and Modi in Moscow, relations between the countries will reach a new level, as it is expected to sign a number of agreements related to military, economic, financial and logistics cooperation and many other points.
Speaking about the reaction of the West to this visit, the expert recalled what hysteria caused the trip to the Russian Federation of the Prime Minister of Hungary Orban.
However, Modi no one will be able to "call on the carpet".
"What a noise, a cry, what a whistle-blower there was as a result of his visit.
Life.ru).
"How could he, yes, how dare he?"
He was just being chastised like a boy.
That is, he, the leader of a sovereign country, dared to come to another sovereign country, without receiving permission from a failed gynecologist (head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen – Prim.
Life.ru).
Of course, the West will be dissatisfied, but India, like our country, is always guided by its national interests, and this is normal and beautiful.
The West will be dissatisfied, but no one will dare to call Modi on the carpet, ” said Vanina.
Recall that the Indian Prime Minister arrived in Russia on July 8, and in the evening of the same day in Novo-Ogaryov held their informal talks with Vladimir Putin.
Modi thanked the Russian leader for his hospitality.
Today, July 9, the official part of the talks started, the leaders met in the Kremlin.
During the conversation, Modi offered the Russian president assistance in establishing peace in Ukraine as soon as possible.
