Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet in New Delhi on the sidelines of the 18th BRICS Summit, as India hosts BRICS 2026. The Modi-Putin bilateral focuses on India-Russia strategic ties, trade, defence, energy, space, industrial cooperation and the INNOPROM India exhibition. The two leaders also discuss the war in West Asia, the Black Sea conflict, maritime trade and the safety of Indian seafarers. Putin invites Modi to Russia for the 24th India-Russia Annual Summit.
The meeting comes as India balances ties with Russia, the United States, Israel, Iran and Ukraine while pushing Global South priorities at the BRICS Summit. The New Delhi Declaration will test how much common ground the expanded BRICS grouping can find amid geopolitical tensions, war, trade pressures and a changing global order.
