Modi to meet Putin in Russia: What's on the agenda, and the strategic messaging

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to pick Russia for his first official visit overseas since assuming a third term is strategically important and carries significant messaging for other major players on the world stage. In the past, Modi has looked towards the neighbourhood as his first port of call upon assuming the prime ministership but choosing Moscow is a first. Pia Krishnankutty explains the agenda of the visit and its strategic significance.

One blind man leading another blind man🙏 Please tell Modi to first visit Manipur and Bihar🙏 Indian's will never forgive him, He hasn't opened a single word so far but escaping from problems, first time seeing a PM running away from his children 🙏I am sorry if I hurt any of your feelings, please do some research on Manipur. Your country should cease fire with 🇺🇦 India🇮🇳 doesn't like war🙏Don't come to India🇮🇳 without stopping the war🙏

@@Dannydaring do you know the reason of the war? Do you know what fascism is? Read the history of 2ww. Every Russian remembers what fascism is and it needs to be deleted on 🇺🇦The Russians are doing it now. Fascism is the evil of humanity. If you think Putin is blind, then you have Zero education. Putin great present for Russia. Russian love him, he's doing everything well👍

Before this Pm Modi should travel to Manipur and Bihar🙏 Blind man leading another blind man🙏

Why is that Modi should micromanage every issue occurring in the country. What is the role of the home ministry, specifically Amit Shah

India should export much more stuff to Russia, So Rupee-Ruble trade becomes successful , also Russian reliance on China can decrease helping both the countries. India should also help Russia in Su-57 Fighter jets

Modi should have made putin come and visit modi like how xi jinping made putin visit , it would have signalled who is boss, this signals putin is boss, not good for vishwagurus

[@hindurashtra63]

Modi is already an Intenational Reputed Leader, Not some small fry like Stalin, Who is nobody outside Tamil Nadu.

[@anuragpandey612]

Russia and India have an agreement where their leaders visit each other's countries. Prime Minister Modi didn't go to Russia recently due to current conflicts, but Foreign Minister Jaishankar visited and assured Russia of Modi's upcoming visit. It's important to have accurate information and understand these diplomatic relationships clearly..
