Prime Minister Narendra Modi warmly welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin to India on Thursday (December 4), marking the start of a significant two-day state visit. In a rare display of close camaraderie, the two leaders travelled together in the same car from Delhi’s Palam Airport, highlighting the unique and enduring bond between India and Russia. This event echoes a similar gesture during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Tianjin earlier this year, underlining warm personal ties beyond formal diplomacy.
