PM Modi Is In Sochi, Talks With President Putin On

Days after Prime Minister Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Wuhan for an informal summit, he reached Russia today for a similar "no-agenda" meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Amid increasing global challenges and the Trump administration's unsettling rules of governance, discussions around foreign policies and enhanced coordination among nations are gaining prominence. The one-day summit, being held in Sochi, is at the invitation of President Putin. Before boarding the flight, PM Modi expressed hope that his talks with Mr Putin will strengthen the "special and privileged" strategic partnership between the two nations.
