Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin travelled together in a limousine in New Delhi after bilateral talks, marking their fourth car ride. They first rode together at last year’s Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China and travelled on two other occasions. On Friday, the leaders headed to the INNOPROM industrial exhibition at Bharat Mandapam. Earlier, Modi gifted Putin a Russian translation of the Thirukkural, saying it could strengthen India-Russia people-to-people ties. The Ministry of External Affairs said discussions covered trade, energy, defence, space and people-to-people ties, alongside regional and global issues including West Asia and Black Sea conflicts. Modi reiterated India’s support for dialogue, diplomacy and peace efforts.
