'Druzhba Dosti' flag flutters as Modi greets Prez Putin on tarmac

In a gesture reminiscent of their meeting in the Chinese city of Tianjin three months earlier, the two drove away in the same vehicle, the India and Russia flags fluttering on its bonnet, to7Lok Kalyan Marg, where Modi hosted “friend” Putin for a private dinner.

The Russians have termed Putin’s visit to India, his first to this country since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, as “Druzhba Dosti”, which means ‘friendship’ in Russian and Hindi, respectively. The warmth and easy rapport that Modi and Putin share were evident at Delhi’s Palam Airport when they shook hands and hugged on the tarmac after the Russian President disembarked from his aircraft.
