Regardless of which party is in power in India and who the Prime Minister is, India and Russia have always been close partners, transcending politics. It is hoped that Putin's current visit to India will once again bring renewed warmth to India-Russia relations.

Furthermore, the visit takes place shortly after the Indian Army's Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. Therefore, the global community is closely watching this visit.
