On Tuesday, Modi will co-chair the 22nd India-Russia annual summit with President Putin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The two leaders, however, will not make any statements to the press afterwards, the Kremlin spokesman added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Solution can’t be found on the battlefield. This is also based on interactions, especially with the global south,” an official source said, regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, emphasizing that this view is likely to be conveyed during the summit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prime Minister Modi will hold in-person meetings with President Putin for 8-9 hours during his nearly 24-hour stay in Russia, they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prime Minister Modi will be conferred with Russia’s highest state decoration, the Order of St. Andrew, on Tuesday. It was announced in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Modi arrived in Russia on Monday on his first trip to Russia since the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The focus of the 22nd India-Russia annual summit is likely to be boosting bilateral cooperation in the areas of energy, security, trade, investment and people-to-people exchanges. The Ukraine conflict is set to figure in the discussions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is Modi’s first trip to Russia since 2019, the first after the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022 and the first in Modi’s third term as the prime minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The annual summit between the prime minister of India and the president of Russia is the highest institutional dialogue mechanism in the strategic partnership between the two countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The annual summits are held alternatively in India and Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The last summit was held on December 6, 2021, in New Delhi. President Putin had visited India to attend the summit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
