Russian President Vladimir Putin reached New Delhi on Thursday evening for a two-day visit aimed at reinforcing the nearly eight-decade-old India-Russia partnership. Soon after his arrival, visuals from Palam Airport showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Putin travelling together in the same car. The moment sparked wide interest, symbolising not just continuity in bilateral ties but also the readiness of both nations to stand firmly together at a time when global geopolitics is shifting rapidly and the Trump administration has imposed unilateral tariff measures on several countries, including India.
