India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday as a part of his 5-day visit to Moscow, informs Kremlin.
Spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov providing an update on the schedule, cites, “Tonight, the president plans to receive Mr. Jaishankar, India’s foreign minister.”
Peskov further noted that the top Indian diplomat had already met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. India is an important partner of Russia, so the ministers will talk about the contacts held and the course of their discussion, adds Peskov highlighting the significance of Russia-India bilateral ties.
"It's always good to be in Moscow. So, I agree with you that our relationship has been very strong, very steady, and I think we have lived up to the responsibilities of a special and privileged strategic partnership," Jaishankar told Lavrov.
On Tuesday, Jaishankar held a "comprehensive and productive" meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Manturov on the bilateral economic cooperation during which they witnessed the signing of some "very important" agreements related to the construction of the future power-generating units of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu.
The ties between India and Russia have remained strong regardless of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
India has not yet condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it has been maintaining that the crisis must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.
