Putin to visit India in September for BRICS Summit

NEW DELHI, May 19: Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to New Delhi for the BRICS Summit on 12 and 13 September, the Kremlin confirmed on Tuesday. The visit carries considerable weight. It will be Putin's second trip to India within the space of a year, reflecting the sustained warmth between Moscow and New Delhi at a time when their strategic and defence ties continue to deepen.

Putin last visited India in December 2025 for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit, where he held extensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on expanding bilateral cooperation across key sectors.    �"Z NEWS
