Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is on two-day official visit to Russia at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin met the Indian community here.
PM Modi first interacted with the Indian community in Russia, then laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Kremlin and thereafter visited the Rosatom pavilion at an exhibition venue in Moscow.
The two leaders met yesterday at the Russian President’s official address where they spoke over crucial global matters.
The meeting marks the 16th encounter between PM Modi and President Putin in the past decade, with their last face-to-face interaction occurring at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in 2022.
This visit to Russia by PM Modi is his first since the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv began in 2022.
