"Putin Extols Modi: India's Future is Promising"

In his annual address at the Valdai Discussion Club, Russian President Vladimir Putin commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi's independent foreign policy. During the session, Putin described India as a nation of remarkable growth, having transitioned from a British colony to a modern-day state.

Putin highlighted the special connection between India and Russia, stating that no difficult issues have arisen between the two nations. He also stressed that a lot has been done under the leadership of PM Modi. The Kremlin further stated that the concept of 'Make in India' holds significance, not just financially, but also in values.

In the address, Putin also emphasised the importance of a world united by common objectives to address global challenges. He asserted that a world divided would be unable to effectively tackle the issues at hand.

During the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, eight months after Russia's invasion on February 24, Putin criticised the West for playing "dirty games" for global dominance. He described power over the world as a risk in the game the West plays, which he deemed dangerous and bloody.

Putin also took a jab at western nations, accusing them of robbing everyone, including themselves, by enforcing their values and vision as global. He stated that the US and its allies are not immune to the consequences of their actions.

In a show of support for India, Putin stressed that PM Modi has asked him to enhance the supply of fertilisers, which is very important for Indian agriculture. He called PM Modi a patriot of his nation.
