Earlier this week, Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, had said that Russia was assigning a high priority to PM Modi’s visit.
“We will carry out detailed preparations for the visit, in terms of both the bilateral aspect and the multilateral forum as a whole,” Peskov had said.
The forum is an annual Russian business event for the economic sector that witnesses more than 4,000 people from over 60 different countries every year.
The forum brings together the chief executives of major Russian and international companies, heads of state, political leaders, prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, departmental ministers, and governors.
