Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India this year, with preparations currently underway. However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the specific month and date of the visit have yet to be finalized.

Lavrov highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first foreign visit after his re-election was to Russia, and now it is Russia’s turn to reciprocate. This remark was made during a conference organized by the Russian International Affairs Council, focusing on Russia-India relations.

Putin’s last visit to India took place on December 6, 2021, when 28 agreements were signed between the two countries, covering areas like military cooperation and technology. This upcoming visit will be Putin’s first to India since the outbreak of the Ukraine war in February 2022.
