Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit India later this year, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval confirmed during a meeting in Moscow on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
“We are very excited to learn about President Putin’s upcoming visit to India... I believe the dates are almost finalised.
Summit-level meetings have always been turning points in our bilateral relationship,” Doval said during his opening remarks.
Sources say Doval’s visit to Moscow is aimed at holding high-level discussions with Russian officials and finalizing preparations for President Putin’s visit to New Delhi.
This marks Doval’s first trip to Moscow since Operation Sindoor. He had previously met with Russian Deputy Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Venediktov during the SCO NSA summit in Beijing in June.
