New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin will arrive in India on December 4 for a two-day visit, marking his first trip to the country since the Ukraine war began in 2022.<\/p>\n
He will attend the 23rd India-Russia Summit, an annual meeting hosted alternately by the two nations, with India hosting this year\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n
During the summit, Putin is scheduled to hold talks with PM Narendra Modi. Discussions are expected to cover key areas including the S-400 missile system purchase, ongoing crude oil cooperation and progress on a proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA). President Droupadi Murmu will host a state dinner in his honour.<\/p>\n
India has faced higher tariffs from the United States over its continued purchase of discounted Russian oil. The US has imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports, resulting in a total duty burden of around 50%, arguing that India\u2019s oil trade with Moscow indirectly supports Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
