PM Modi and Putin reaffirm commitment to deepening ties

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a telephonic conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to "further deepen" the 'special and privileged strategic partnership' between India and Russia. Modi invited Putin to visit India later this year for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit.

The Modi-Putin phone call, and their resolve to "further deepen" New Delhi-Moscow ties, is significant for its timing. It took place 48 hours after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose a penalty of 25 per cent on Indian goods for New Delhi's purchase of Russian oil. The total duties that the White House has imposed on Indian goods are 50 per cent, one of the highest that the US has imposed on any country in the world. The additional 25 per cent duty will come into effect on August 27.
