Indian PM Modi heads to Russia for first visit since Ukraine war

India’s prime minister Narendra Modi will visit Russia today it’s his first trip to Moscow since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which has tested relations analysts say the visit suggests a continuation of Mr Mod’s push for India to be a global power a bridge to the west and a counterbalance to China n Puna has more for a decade prime minister Narendra Modi has been credited with elevating India’s Global Presence woed by World lead leaders and cheered by the Indian diaspora on every visit [Applause] [Applause] during Mod’s last two tenur India hosted the G20 presidency for the first time began an Outreach to countries in the global South became more firmly aligned with the US and Western allies but also maintained its historic ties with Russia refusing to vote against Moscow at the UN over the war in Ukraine while still buying deeply discounted Russian oil in the face of threats of Western sanctions analysts say this must muscular foreign policy approach will likely continue in modi’s thirdd term as well you know the idea with Modi 3.0 is going to be continuity you know we’ve looked at what the first two administrations under Prime Minister Modi focused which was basically uh trying to create a space for India where you’re saying that you’re aspiring for a leadership role but that you’re also bringing uh you know the strength of your economy the strength of your diplomacy your ability after G20 to show the world that you can be a bridging power between the West uh and the rest if you will it’s why India isn’t shying away from engaging with Russia at the start of his new term this is despite Washington expressing concerns about new delhi’s military and trade ties with Russia India has been careful to adopt a more neutral stance um not siding with the Western countries in cornering Russia because at the end of the day Russia heals itself in a corner the chances of a negotiated uh settlement uh become more remote so we feel it’s important not to have Russia pushed totally into the Chinese basket there’s also speculation that Russia is trying to help India deescalate tensions with China Moscow has been pushing to revive a Russia India China trilateral dialogue a precursor to Bricks but that grouping has not met since since 2020 when Indian and Chinese troops were involved in a deadly conflict in eastern ladak sparking a border standoff that remains in place today tens of thousands of troops are now stationed permanently at that disputed site B differences between Beijing and New Delhi are not new the two share a 3,400 km long Frontier and have often disagreed over border demarcations even fighting a war over differences in in 1962 but after Modi came back to Power last month the appointment of a former Indian ambassador to China as the country’s new foreign secretary is being seen as an indicator that New Delhi may be Keen to reset bilateral ties recently India’s foreign minister SJ Shanker also held a rare meeting with China’s new Envoy to India where the two emphasized a common interest in stabilizing ties experts say this reflects India’s Je geopolitical realities even as New Delhi pitches itself as an alternative to Western companies looking to move production lines away from China India is still heavily import dependent on Beijing with bilateral trade hitting an all-time high of over $30 billion last year and now more and more Indian businesses are calling for visa relaxations for skilled Chinese workers after years of a public campaign calling for a full boycott of Chinese Goods and Services I think there is a realization that while we are not going to give up strategically at all you have a military buildup which is you know going to be sustained you are leveraging your Partnerships with the Us and other countries in the west to ensure that that strength is built upon but there’s also uh room for opening up of dialogue and to try and avoid miscalculation New Delhi is also contending with Beijing musling in on its neighborhood last year the Maldives became the latest country in the region to Pivot towards Beijing after Nepal and Sri Lanka it’s why analyist say leaders from South Asian countries were invited to attend modi’s inauguration ceremony in June to send a message that India’s neighborhood first policy will remain a priority you cannot match the czechbook diplomacy but what you can do uh is capacity build on the basis of non-reciprocity and you can also build trust you know whether it’s Bangladesh Maldives Nepal what India has really learned is to trade its neighborhood on parities analysts say for now India’s priority is also the West they highlight Mod’s attendance at the G7 Summit in June and the possibility of fresh trade talks with the European Union and the UK the US 2 has already begun engaging with Mod’s Administration with National Security adviser Jake Sullivan traveling to New Delhi in June soon after election results were out President Joe Biden has called the US India relationship the most defining Partnership of this century and in the past year Washington has ramped up weapon sales and Technology transfers to India both to equip New Delhi to take on China militarily but also to wean it away from its traditional supplier of military hardware Russia experts warn that a possible return of Donald Trump to the White House in November might change that trade relation ship but with the West still keen on containing China they will continue to woo India which means it will be business as usual on the Strategic front niap Puna CNA New

  7. Western propoganda
    Modi already have visited after Ukraine war and modi have said to Putin that "this era is not of a war" no third class world leader even said anything like this to anyone.
    That's why India is very powerful diplomatic

  12. India can afford itself any sort of independent behavior. Singapore has not any politician who could play an independent role in negotiations.

  20. INDIA and RUSSIA was and always be good friends. we dont care about what western clown wants us to be lol. After all east is much larger and better than the west and their hypocracy.

  37. We as Indians love Russia 🇷🇺. Russia has always been there and we are best friends ❤❤❤ Long live Russia India relationship ❤

  38. The contents of your reporting doesnt reflects your topic at all. It looks like misreporting & out of topic. What china got to do so much in Modi-Putin dialogue ? Two global powers meet with many strategic agendas on the table as both 🇮🇳and🇷🇺 are stronger together that can reshape world order. India is the only nation that can balance the two military super powers, USA & Russia. Beside this, trade, space, joint-ventures, connectivities, joint artic exploration, defence, culture, joint arms production, strategic decision making, diplomatic supports, P2P connection, education & so on are on the table that can be analysed in-depth & reported.

  39. Ukraine full of Nazis. Thats why Russia support Israel. India too supports Israel. But India workers need the west.

  40. Western hypocrisy refers to the perceived double standards and contradictions in the actions and values of Western countries, particularly in their foreign policy and global interactions. Some examples include:

    1. Promoting democracy and human rights while supporting authoritarian regimes.
    2. Advocating for free trade while imposing protectionist policies.
    3. Condemning human rights violations while ignoring or enabling similar abuses in allied countries.
    4. Preaching about the importance of international law while violating it themselves.
    5. Championing freedom of speech while suppressing dissenting voices.

    Critics argue that Western powers often prioritize their own interests over their stated values, leading to accusations of hypocrisy and undermining their moral authority.😂
