Shoigu did not detail specific initiatives, but said the two sides would expand cooperation across defence and security domains. Doval, speaking alongside Shoigu, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government expects President Vladimir Putin to visit India at the end of August. The trip, if confirmed, would mark Putin’s first visit to the country since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and could set the stage for new bilateral agreements.
