PM confident that talks with Putin will strengthen partnership

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has voiced the hope his talks with President Vladimir Putin would further strengthen the ‘special and privileged’ strategic partnership between India and Russia. In a series of tweets — in Russian and then in English — on the eve of his visit to Russia, Modi said he looked forward to his meeting with Putin.

‘Greetings to the friendly people of Russia. I look forward to my visit to Sochi and my meeting with President Putin. It is always a pleasure to meet him,’ Modi tweeted. During their informal summit in the Russian city of Sochi on Monday, the two leaders will primarily focus on global and regional issues, including the impact of the United States decision to withdraw from a nuclear deal with Iran.

‘Am confident the talks with President Putin will further strengthen the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia,’ Modi said in another tweet. Official sources said the two leaders would meet for 4-6 hours for the ‘agendaless’ talks where deliberations on bilateral issues were likely to be limited.
