Russian president Vladimir Putin began his visit with a private dinner with Modi at the Prime Minister’s official residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. On Friday at 11 a.m., he will receive a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan, after which he will visit Rajghat to lay a wreath at Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial. The 23rd India-Russia annual summit will begin at 11:50 a.m. at Hyderabad House, followed by press statements from Modi and Putin. Putin last visited India on December 6, 2021, for the annual summit, but he did not address the media then because it was a short visit.

Pact on Trade, investment, economy and defence are on the agenda.
