Modi, Putin take yacht ride, discuss BRICS, North-South Transport Corridor

Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed bilateral and global issues in his first informal summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
Narendra Modi said the strategic partnership between India and Russia has now been elevated into a "special privileged strategic partnership" as he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in this Black Sea coastal city for their first informal summit.

Modi recalled his first visit to Russia with then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001 and said Putin was the first world leader whom he met after becoming the chief minister of Gujarat.

He said the seeds of the 'strategic partnership' sown by then Prime Minister Vajpayee and President Putin has now grown into a "special privileged strategic partnership" between the two countries.
