The recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit became a stage for a powerful display of the long-standing friendship between India and Russia. At the heart of this was a significant meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While the summit included leaders from various nations, the bond between Putin and Modi took the spotlight. In a rare gesture, President Putin offered a ride to PM Modi in his personal limousine, the Aurus. This hour-long, one-on-one conversation inside the car, away from other officials, underscored the deep trust and mutual respect between the two leaders.
The most notable moment, however, was Putin’s strong defense of India. Amid increasing pressure from Western nations, particularly the US, to stop its purchase of Russian oil and defence equipment, Putin publicly declared, "Don't talk to India like that." This statement, widely reported in the media, was a powerful message to the world, highlighting Russia's unwavering support for India.
This meeting and Putin's remarks emphasize that despite global geopolitical shifts and international pressure, the strategic partnership between India and Russia remains strong and vital. It shows that both nations are committed to maintaining their independence in foreign policy and are willing to stand by each other even in the most challenging of times.
