Russian President Vladimir Putin says growth in India-Russia trade this year is linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “personal attention.” In comments made during meetings in Moscow, Putin associates the improvement with sustained engagement between the two governments and expresses optimism about further cooperation.
The remarks also include a stated intention to meet Modi at the SCO Summit. Separate from the trade comments, Putin discusses upcoming diplomatic interactions in the context of meetings with India’s External Affairs Minister EAM S Jaishankar, according to the reports.
Across the outlets, the core points remain consistent: Putin attributes part of the trade increase to Modi’s direct involvement, and he signals that Modi and Putin are expected to meet during the SCO Summit. Differences are limited to the framing of emphasis—some highlight the “personal attention” language more directly—while the reported facts about trade growth and the planned summit meeting align.
