Narendra Modi and Vladimir Putin held wide-ranging talks on issues of mutual interests.
New Delhi: After an eventful visit in Russia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for France. He and Russian President Vladimir Putin held wide-ranging talks on bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual interests, including ways to boost energy and trade ties. India and Russia have not only strengthened flagging trade ties but also decided to "upgrade and intensify" cooperation in the defence sector by building key military hardware together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the Russian industry leaders to "explore the opportunities in India". Trade with Russia stands at $7.8 billion - down from $10 billion in 2014. The two nations are hoping to raise it to $ 30 billion over the next five years. In St Petersburg, PM Modi attended the 18th India-Russia annual Summit and St Petersburg International Economic Forum, as Vladimir Putin sought to burnish a fragile recovery at the Kremlin's economic showcase despite tensions with the West.
