The India-Russia Annual Summit is a key pillar of the strategic partnership between the two countries. It was established in 2000 and alternates between India and Russia, with a few interruptions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At a press briefing earlier today, Deputy NSA Pavan Kapoor confirmed that active preparations are underway for the visit. The upcoming summit is expected to cover a wide range of areas including trade, defence, finance, healthcare, and high technology.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also spoke about the visit on 28 September during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), saying, “We have a very extensive bilateral agenda, trade, military, technical cooperation, finance, humanitarian matters, healthcare, high-tech, artificial intelligence, and of course close coordination at the international level within the SCO, BRICS and bilaterally.”
