23rd Russian-Indian Forum: Agreements and a Focus on Friendship
On December 4–5, the 23rd Russian-Indian Summit took place in New Delhi. It was remembered not only for its formal outcomes and signed agreements, but also for the remarkably warm and heartfelt atmosphere that was felt even by those following the events on their television and mobile screens. From the very first moments, it was clear that the summit would be special: at the aircraft steps, Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally welcomed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Then, in a break from protocol, they travelled together in the Indian leader’s car to an informal dinner at his residence.
