Modi and Putin Discuss Expanding India-Russia Economic Partnership to $100 Billion
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin met at the BRICS Summit to discuss expanding their economic partnership. The meeting comes as India and Russia aim to increase bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030.
The talks are building on discussions from the INNOPROM India 2026 industrial exhibition, which aims to create new business-to-business opportunities between companies from both countries.
Modi presented Putin with a Russian-language edition of 'Thirukkural', an ancient Tamil collection of couplets written by Thiruvalluvar. The gift highlights the cultural dimension of India's engagement with Russia, alongside broader political and economic discussions.
