According to officials, PM Modi “warmly congratulated President Putin and conveyed best wishes for good health and success in all his endeavours.”
During the conversation, the two leaders reviewed the progress of the India-Russia bilateral agenda and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between the two nations.
Prime Minister Modi also expressed his anticipation of welcoming President Putin to India for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit, scheduled for later this year. Putin is expected to visit in the first week of December, having previously confirmed his travel plans.
