According to Russian President's foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov, the Indian leader received an invitation to visit the land of birch trees in March, and is expected to meet with President Vladimir Putin.
“I can confirm that we are preparing for the visit of the Indian Prime Minister,” Mr. Yury Ushakov said, without revealing the specific date of the trip.
Meanwhile, India's The Tribune newspaper "revealed" that Mr. Modi is scheduled to visit Moscow on July 8 to "emphasize the bond" between the two countries.
If it happens, this will be Prime Minister Modi's first visit to Russia since the country launched a special military operation in Ukraine more than two years ago. The Indian leader's last visit to Russia was in September 2019, to attend the annual summit between the two countries in the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok.
Russia has had close ties with India since the Cold War and New Delhi's importance as a key trading partner for Moscow has increased significantly since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Regarding Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, New Delhi has not condemned or imposed sanctions on Moscow, although Mr. Modi publicly criticized Mr. Putin in September 2022.
Russia has redirected oil exports from Europe to India and China after Western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow.
