The remark drew a smile from both leaders as well as from the audience, signaling the warmth that still defines the India-Russia relationship. Modi reciprocated the light tone as he spoke about the long-standing friendship between the two nations.
India and Russia have been closely related to each other on all major sectors, including defense, energy, and space cooperation. The relations between these two countries have kept changing over recent years as both leaders often make a point of mutual respect and understanding.
Well, this comment from Putin adds a personal touch to otherwise formalized diplomacy between the two global powers, showing that ties are deep-rooted beyond politics and into a real understanding between people.
