PM Modi, Vladimir Putin had a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek


Bishkek:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Bishkek and the two leaders reviewed all aspects of bilateral relations to further strengthen the strategic relationship.

This is the first meeting between the two leaders after PM Modi's re-election following the stunning victory of the BJP in the general elections last month.

"PM @narendramodi and President Putin had a wonderful meeting in Bishkek. Various subjects pertaining to India-Russia relations were discussed during the meeting," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that the two leaders "reviewed all aspects of bilateral relations to further strengthen the strategic relationship."

Briefing the media after the meeting, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said that it was a "brief but very very rich" meeting in terms of content.

He said that defence and energy were key focus during their talks. The two leaders also reviewed trade and investment ties and noted that they're on an upward trajectory.

Prime Minister Modi thanked the Russian President for his support for the AK-203 Kalashnikov rifles manufacturing unit in Amethi, an India-Russia joint venture. The unit was inaugurated by Modi in March in Korwa, near Amethi.

Russia has been one of India's key suppliers of arms and ammunition.

President Putin recognised Prime Minister Modi's personal contribution in strengthening bilateral relations and said that Russia awarded its highest state honour ''Order of St Andrew the Apostle'' to him for initiatives he has taken to develop the bilateral relationship.


Mr Gokhale said there will be a Russia, India and China trilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Osaka, Japan later this month.

President Putin invited Prime Minister Modi formally to be the main guest at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia in early September, and he warmly accepted the invitation, Mr Gokhale said.

"We will do serious preparation on our side that this participation at the EEC is meaningful," Mr Gokhale quoted the Prime Minister as telling Mr Putin.

The two leaders recognised that the new area of cooperation are Russian Far East and Arctic region.

Responding to a question, Mr Gokhale said there was no discussion on any regional or international issue as the focus was entirely on how to make Prime Minister's visit for the next annual summit successful.

PM Modi arrived in the Kyrgyz capital on Thursday for the SCO summit, the first multilateral engagement post his re-election. The SCO is a China-led 8-member economic and security bloc with India and Pakistan being admitted to the grouping in 2017.

In December last, Prime Minister Modi, President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a trilateral meeting, the second among the three countries after a gap of 12 years, on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires during which they underscored the benefits of a multilateral trading system and an open world economy for global growth and prosperity.

Earlier in October, President Putin travelled to India for the 19th India-Russia annual summit during which he held comprehensive discussions with PM Modi on wide-ranging bilateral, regional and international issues.

You bet it is, just yesterday Imran khan shook hands with the Russian prez and as per pakistanis here Modi was totally ignored just like the pakistani PM was ignored by Putin during the BRI summit.

Imran Khan just wanted a photo op with Putin. He got it. It was nothing else. Russia is well past its prime for us to be jealous about its friendship.

But still Modi ji had a bilateral meeting with Putin yesterday which Imran Khan had been requesting for quite a long time.

Given the rapport he enjoyed with Putin yesterday, Imran Khan could have convinced him for a visit to Pakistan. If so, there could be severe implications to our relationship with Russia. But let's wish good luck to Imran Khan.

Aww Modi needs to be made to feel special again with a box of Chocs and some flowers after VP left him alone to chill with his new mate at the conference. Modi - you need to let your bf hang out with his mates to talk about man stuff otherwise your relationship will suffer. go practice your tea making, or try some knitting, or hang out with your girlfriends...

Why would Putin ask Imran Modi's size ? Has Imran been taking it from Modi ? Is that what you mean ? :woot::tsk:

Jokes aside, I think Imran is trying hard to get Russia to sell it weapons for free or for heavy loans. Americans are not selling anymore and the Chinese maal is just not cutting it. I don't want to use the term for what he was doing in front of Putin but all can guess well.

Lol you think Russia is not selling weapons to Pakistan? Guess what jf-17 engines are Russian and this has been happening way before 2014. :)

Hope you understand what I mean. May be it is India who don't know it's place. :)
