Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to visit India in early December for high-level discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The meeting is expected to focus on strengthening strategic cooperation, trade, and energy partnerships between the two nations. Their last interaction was a brief exchange during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in China. Putin’s planned visit comes at a delicate time, as mounting trade disagreements between India and the United States are drawing global attention to New Delhi’s growing ties with Moscow.
