Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit India later this year, with the dates reportedly being finalized. The visit follows discussions between Putin and India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, who met in Moscow and held talks aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership between Russia and India. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also spoken with Putin, reaffirming the commitment to deepen bilateral ties and expressing anticipation for hosting the Russian president. The Kremlin confirmed the visit, and Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu highlighted the importance of determining the timing of talks between Putin and Modi. The visit is seen as a continuation of the close cooperation between the two countries amid ongoing global economic pressures, including American tariffs that have not deterred India-Russia relations.
