The Prime Minister told Putin that India is ready to provide all possible cooperation to resolve the Ukraine dispute. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan on Tuesday. In the bilateral meeting, the Prime Minister expressed India’s desire to provide all possible support for a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine dispute. Prime Minister Modi said, “I have been in constant touch with you on the subject of the ongoing dispute between Russia and Ukraine. As I have said earlier, we believe that problems should be resolved peacefully. We are committed to peace. And fully support the early establishment of stability.

Prime Minister Modi also recalled his two visits to Russia in the last three months, saying they “reflect our close coordination and deep friendship.” Apart from Putin, the Prime Minister is likely to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and hold bilateral talks with leaders of other BRICS member countries. The summit is taking place in the wake of ongoing global unrest including the Russia-Ukraine war and the Middle East crisis.
The need to find conflict resolution through dialogue and diplomacy
“India has always believed that the parties concerned need to find a solution to the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy,” he said. Last month Putin considered Prime Minister Modi his “friend” and expressed gratitude for India’s support in seeking a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war. This happened after the Russian President invited the Prime Minister to attend the BRICS summit. Putin’s acceptance comes two months after Prime Minister Modi called him and urged for an early resolution of the two-year-long war. Prime Minister Modi also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev in August. This is the Prime Minister’s second visit to Russia this year.
In July he participated in the 22nd India-Russia Annual Summit in Moscow. During this visit he not only held bilateral talks with Putin, but was also awarded Russia’s highest civilian award, the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. Another important development on the eve of the BRICS summit was that India and China agreed to resume border patrolling. The “proceeding of troop withdrawal” along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh has marked a major breakthrough in diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries.
Announcing the agreement on Monday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri also talked about the possible meeting of Prime Minister Modi and President Xi. “We’re still working out timing and appointments,” he said. The two-day summit based on the theme “Strengthening Multilateralism for Equitable Global Development and Security” will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues. It will also provide a valuable opportunity to assess the progress of the initiatives launched by the nine-nation alliance and identify potential areas for future cooperation.
