Ahead of the 21st India Russia Annual Summit on Monday, the Russian envoy to India noted that the physical meeting between the two nations’ leaders would be of historical significance.

Speaking exclusively to India Today, Russian ambassador to India Nikolay Kudashev said, “the visit is of historic importance as it’s the first physical contact after a long gap, since 2019. This is the first foreign trip since then for the President of the Russian Federation and that should testify to the importance of our bilateral relations and its exclusive nature. It’s a special strategic relationship between the two countries and it’s not wise to discuss very sensitive issues unless in person.”
