During the SCO summit in Tianjin, Chinese port city, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin showcased their longstanding partnership.
"Even in the most difficult situations, India and Russia have always walked shoulder to shoulder," Modi said. "Our close cooperation is important not only for the people of both countries but also for global peace, stability and prosperity."
Putin, who addressed Modi as his “dear friend,” highlighted the long-standing partnership between the two countries.
"Russia and India have maintained special relations for decades, friendly and trusting. This is the foundation for the development of our relations in the future," Putin said.
Modi also expressed support for ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, highlighting his recent talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
On social media, Modi shared images of his meeting with Putin.
