Putin tells PM in phone call
-
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday conveyed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a phone call that Russia fully backs India's fight against terrorism and that the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice.
A Russian embassy readout said Putin deseribed the terror attack as "barbaric" and that both the leaders emphasised the need for an "uncompromising fight" against terrorism in all its manifestations.
It also said that President Putin accepted the prime minister's invitation for the annual India-Russia summit to be held in India this year.
During the conversation with Modi, Putin "strongly condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam" and conveyed condolences at the loss of innocent lives, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a social media post.
The Russian president was among the first world leaders to condemn the April 22 terror attack that killed 26 civilians.
Putin conveyed "deepest condolences on the loss of innocent lives and expressed 'full support' to India in the fight against terrorism", Jaiswal said.
"He emphasised that the perpetrators of the heinous attack and their supporters must be brought to justice," the MEA spokesperson added.
