New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited Russia after five years. This is Modi's first foreign visit in his third term. When the future of the world is hanging in balance, this visit of Modi becomes very important.
When Modi landed at Moscow airport, he was welcomed on the red carpet and given a guard of honour.
President Putin invited Modi for tea at his private residence. Modi then hugged Putin and shook hands with him.
Putin, who had come to his private residence for tea and snacks, praised Modi profusely. He said, “You have devoted your entire life to serving the country. You are doing an unusual job for India.” Along with this, Putin congratulated Modi for his third term and said that he is very happy to see him in Moscow.
In response to this, the Prime Minister said, “The people of India have shown faith in my policies for the country, for this I am grateful to all Indians.” Nearly 65 crore people voted: After nearly 60 years. A government has been elected for the third time. But it is very pleasant to meet a friend at home. I am grateful to you for inviting me to your home.
The Prime Minister further said that my visit to Russia is taking place at a 'special' time (in the world).
It is noteworthy that the meeting of NATO member countries is being held in America today on Tuesday. NATO countries will formulate their strategy on the Ukraine war! At that time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia and his visit with Putin is natural to be a thorn in the eyes of Western countries.
Earlier, Narendra Modi was not present at the Shandai-Cooperative-Organization (SCO) conference. At that time, intense talks were held between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
India does not want its oldest friend Russia to come closer to China. If experts are to be believed, it can be said that this visit of PM Modi to Russia is becoming very important.
It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had chosen Russia for his first foreign visit soon after the start of his third term. Earlier in 2014, he had chosen Bhutan for his first foreign visit. Therefore, Maldives was chosen for the first foreign visit in 2019.
During the 22nd bilateral summit between India and Russia, the Prime Minister not only participated in official programs but also addressed the visiting Indians. A bilateral meeting was held in Delhi in 2021. Then Putin came to India. Which will be remembered.
The Prime Minister is going from Moscow to Austria. This will be the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Austria after 40 years.
