NEW DELHI, July 9 (Bernama) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held informal talks on Monday at the president's Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow.
"Gratitude to President Putin for hosting me at Novo-Ogaryovo this evening. Looking forward to our talks tomorrow as well, which will surely go a long way in further cementing the bonds of friendship between India and Russia," Modi said in a social media post.
The Indian prime minister arrived in Moscow on Monday for a two-day visit to participate in the 22nd India-Russia annual summit.
Official talks between the delegations of the two countries on Tuesday are expected to focus on the economic agenda, including energy cooperation, trade and fertiliser supply, the Russian state news agency TASS reported.
They will also cover regional and international issues, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Modi visited Russia in September 2019 to attend the 5th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok and in December 2015 for his first official bilateral visit to Moscow to take part in the 16th India-Russia annual summit.
