Putin to Visit India Later in 2025 Confirms NSA Ajit Doval

In a significant diplomatic update, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to visit India towards the end of 2025, according to National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval. The visit reaffirms the continued strategic partnership between New Delhi and Moscow.

While earlier reports had speculated that Putin’s visit might take place in August, Doval clarified that the high-profile trip will happen later this year. The confirmation comes amid ongoing global geopolitical shifts and India’s consistent engagement with key global powers.

The Kremlin has yet to release an official date, but diplomatic sources suggest preparations are underway. Putin’s visit is expected to include bilateral discussions on defence cooperation, energy ties, and regional security issues. Both countries are also likely to review progress on major projects and agreements signed in recent years.

This will be Putin’s first visit to India since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began in 2022. The meeting is likely to attract international attention, especially in the context of India’s balancing act in global diplomacy.

India and Russia have maintained strong ties over the decades, especially in the fields of defence, nuclear energy, and space collaboration. Despite evolving global alliances, both nations have continued to engage at the highest levels.

Further details about the visit are awaited from official channels.
