India Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Russia President Vladimir Putin with a hug when he arrived in New Delhi on Thursday (Dec 4), ahead of a private dinner at the prime minister’s residence. Putin is in India for his first state visit in four years to attend the 23rd India-Russia summit. Their talks, focused on deepening cooperation in defence, energy and labour, come at a sensitive moment in global politics amid renewed US efforts to push for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal. #india #
