🇷🇺🇮🇳 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of the Republic of India Narendra Modi held talks on the sidelines of the XVI BRICS Summit (October 22, 2024):
💬 President Vladimir Putin: Mr Prime Minister, friends,
I am delighted to welcome you to Russia, this time to Kazan, a magnificent historical city on the Volga.
I warmly remember your visit to Moscow and our fruitful talks back in July. We regularly speak on the telephone. I am grateful that you accepted our invitation and came to the #BRICS Summit in Kazan in person.
Today we will take part in the opening ceremony of the summit. Later, there will be a dinner for the leaders, and then we will begin our work.
Here in Kazan, we are to make a number of important decisions to enhance the efficiency of efforts made by BRICS and to strengthen multilateral cooperation within the group. We value our cooperation on this track, considering that our nations were instrumental in founding BRICS.
🤝 Russian-Indian relations are characterised by a special privileged strategic partnership and continue to develop actively. Interaction between legislative bodies is strengthening, and our foreign ministers are in constant contact.
📈 Trade is also in good shape. The next meeting of the intergovernmental commission is scheduled for November 12 in New Delhi.
Large projects are consistently developing, and we welcome your decision to open a Consulate General of India in Kazan. Expanding India’s diplomatic presence in Russia will contribute to the further development of bilateral relations.
Mr Prime Minister, we are very glad to see you and your entire representative team in Russia.

@RusEmbMalta press release:
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s interview with the Sputnik, Govorit Moskva, and Komsomolskaya Pravda radio stations (April 19, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: President of Russia Vladimir #Putin is constantly reminding everyone that we always prefer talks to fights and wars.
At this stage, we always repeat the following <...> whenever anyone asks whether we are ready for talks. First, President of #Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has forbidden himself to negotiate with Russia. He should at least take the first step and repeal that order.
Secondly, they cannot be trusted. We have been trying to make ourselves trust them for too long.
☝️ And yet, we are ready to negotiate. But unlike the Istanbul story, we will not pause the military actions for the period of negotiations. The process must go on. In addition, the realities on the ground have changed significantly. These realities must be taken into account.
