Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi on Thursday (December 4), where he was received by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the airport.

The trip marks the Russian leader's first visit to old ally India since the start of the war in Ukraine nearly four years back.

Putin is accompanied by senior ministers and a large Russian business delegation on the two-day trip as Moscow and New Delhi seek to expand their economic ties beyond energy and defence.
