India's Modi to visit Moscow on July 8

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a quick day-long trip to Moscow on July 8, Report informs referring to The Tribune.

Modi’s trip is significant, not just because it is a standalone visit — which means that it is not being clubbed with the BRICS summit that is expected to take place in Kazan in October — but also because it comes soon after he took charge of the government for the third term and after Russian President Vladimir Putin was re-elected for the fifth time in March.

Much has also changed in the bilateral relationship since Modi last came to Russia — he was in Vladivostok in 2019, but last visited Moscow in 2015.
