Indian Prime Minister Modi: Had a "good" conversation with "friend" Putin
Indian Prime Minister Modi said on Friday that he had a "good" conversation with his "friend" Russian President Putin, discussing the Ukraine issue and reiterating their commitment to strengthening Indo-Russia relations.
AFP reported from New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Modi said on Friday that he had a "good" conversation with his "friend" Putin.
Prime Minister of India, who is facing a difficult decision on purchasing Russian oil, stated on social media that he was pleased to host President Putin in India "later this year". The last time Putin visited India was in December 2021.
Modi also said, "I had a very good and detailed conversation with my friend President Putin. I thank him for sharing the latest information about Ukraine."
The Indian government statement said that during the conversation with Putin, Modi reiterated New Delhi's consistent position of supporting the "peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict."
Kremlin emphasized that Putin and the Indian Prime Minister discussed the "results" of the meeting this week in Moscow with U.S. envoy Steve Wietek.
AFP pointed out that this call took place after Trump imposed high tariffs on Indian exports to the United States. On Tuesday, Trump announced that it would double the tariffs on Indian products exported to the United States to 50%, due to India's purchase of Russian oil.
It should also be noted that the Russian president plans to hold a summit with Trump in the "next few days". On Thursday, Putin met with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval in Moscow.
