PM Narendra Modi’s Russia Visit: Ukraine War On Agenda For Talks With President Putin
Read Time:1 Minute, 31 Second
During PM Modi’s three-day visit to Moscow and Vienna, the key focus will be Ukraine war, green fuel and clean energy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have one-on-one private dinners with Russian President Vladimir Putin on July 8 and with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer the next day to protect India’s energy security and secure clean and green technologies from Moscow and Vienna respectively.
The last dinner cum private PM Modi had with President Putin in the Kremlin in 2015 extended into the early hours of the next morning and this time the Indian PM is being hosted at the private residence of the Russian President.
While PM Modi will be physically conferred the Order of St Andrew the Apostle the First, the highest state decoration by Russian Federation, the visit to Moscow assumes significance as India seeks to deepen as well as strengthen its energy ties with the Federation with Europe procuring energy supplies from West Asia at higher prices due to Ukraine war.
India will also be looking at various routes including the Arctic route to evacuate energy from Russia as well as investing more money into the energy sector of the Federation.
However, the key discussion between the two leaders will be on the Ukraine war as the long drawn war continues to destabilize the global markets and security situation. Given that PM Modi has first-hand view of the G-7 leaders on the Ukraine war during the Italy summit last month, he will be able to impress upon President Putin the futility of carrying on a long drawn campaign and urge him to return to the negotiating table.
PM Modi is one of the few global leaders who have an excellent personal equation with the Russian leader and both have mutual respect for each other.
