Indian Prime Minister Modi posted today: "I am pleased to have met Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov. We discussed mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as trade, fertilizer supply, people-to-people exchanges, and connectivity. I welcome the ongoing efforts by both sides to implement the decisions made during the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit held last December on the occasion of President Putin's visit to India."
Comments: Amid escalating instability in Iran and disruptions to energy and fertilizer supply chains in the Middle East, Modi’s meeting with Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov focuses on practical cooperation in trade, fertilizer supply, and connectivity. This not only follows up on the consensus reached at the India-Russia summit but also reflects India’s pragmatic choice to secure energy safety and stabilize agricultural production amid regional crises—highlighting India’s strategic calculation centered on national interests, strengthening ties with Russia to hedge against geopolitical risks.
