Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign secretary, confirmed that procedures are being made for Putin’s third-term, bilateral visit to Delhi after Modi made the trip there next summer.
The results of their most recent summit  can be viewed below, while the current article will provide a forecast of what they might examine at their upcoming summit, whose date has yet to be determined.
They are expected to discuss: Given their common enduring goals as well as the most recent foreign developments:
1. Hands
The sharing of Russian technology to aid in the development of India’s domestic military-industrial complex has become known as” Russian-Indian Defense Ties Are Evolving With The Times,” according to the report.
The specifics of this will probably be discussed in the environment of their , recently updated military agreement; and as they relate to India’s planned purchasing of simultaneously produced , 800-kilometer-range BrahMos hypersonic cruise missiles , and its interest in Russia’s Su-57 jets.
2. Power
India has been one of Russia’s best energy partners since 2022, as evidenced by the ancient 10-year-long oil deal that they signed late last year, in spite of the US’s most recent sanctions, and which it intends to maintain.
Depending on how the gradual raising of American sanctions plays out, the nasp;, Russian–US ,” New , Déeente” could even see India become a big investment in the , Arctic LNG 2 megaproject . Under US force, China’s lost part could be significantly improved. In the meantime, its businesses withdrew .
3. Iran
The reinstatement of Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy, which targets Iran, threatens the economic viability of the North-South Transport Corridor, which Russia and India intend to count on for scaling real-sector industry.
However, the emerging Russian-US” New Detente” may result in Russia brokering an Iranian-US” New Detente,” as two senior Kremlin officials suggested, with Putin discussing this possibility with Modi because American aid for this proposed approach may be crucial for gaining Iran’s approval.
4. Troops
It would be wise for him and Modi to explain this with Putin since his latest plan for the UN to impose temporary command on Ukraine would involve the participation of that organization’s peacekeepers, to which India is arguably one of the largest contributors.
Similar to the scaled-back alternative to a demilitarized” Trans-Dnieper” region that was formally suggested , here , or even just the fundamental idea for UN peacekeepers to monitor and enforce a ceasefire or armistice along the already-established Line of Contact,
5. Tri-Multipolarity
Finally, at this crucial time in the world systemic transition, where Putin and Modi may agree to jointly advance tri-multipolarity, is necessary.
The previous hyperlinked research explored this idea further, but it ultimately boils down to the creation of a second pole of influence by Russia and India, a separate entity from the American and Chinese superpowers.
That would most likely stop Sino-US bi-multipolarity from returning and promote the development of sophisticated multipolarity.
———-
The five topics listed above are probably the most good, but it remains to be seen precisely what Putin and Modi may examine and the public may not be in the know all the details of their talk.
The results of their discussions might not even occur, leading to a lot of speculation after that. Russia and India have a long-standing strategic partnership that aims to advance shared objectives. All that is known for sure is that they continue to significantly improve it.
