Dmitry Peskov has revealed details of the Russian president’s planned trip to the South Asian country
Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India in the near future, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Indian journalists during an online meeting on Tuesday, noting that the dates for the trip would be announced soon.
While the exact timing has yet to be finalized, Putin’s upcoming trip to India will be his first since the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in 2022. The Russian president last visited the South Asian country in December 2021, when he attended the India-Russia Annual Summit in New Delhi alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking to senior editors from major Indian media outlets, Peskov said the Russian president’s reciprocal visit indicated close interaction between the leaders of the two countries, noting a high level of anticipation surrounding the trip.
