Ushakov highlighted that the two sides will delve deeply into trade dynamics. Bilateral trade touched .6 billion in 2024, marking a 12% increase — driven largely by energy, fertilisers, and machinery. “We have many large-scale promising projects in various areas,” he said, listing industrial cooperation, innovative technologies, peaceful space exploration, transport, mining, healthcare, and labour migration programmes among the priorities. Putin will also participate in the launch event for RT TV’s India operations, signalling Moscow’s intent to expand media and cultural outreach as part of its soft-power strategy. PM Modi and Putin have spoken by phone five times in 2024, and last held an in-person meeting on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Tianjin. Despite global geopolitical upheavals, the India-Russia relationship continues to adapt, balancing legacy defence ties with new-age cooperation in technology, energy transition, education and workforce mobility.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
