Earlier in the day, Doval confirmed that President Putin will visit India later this year, with the dates currently being finalised. In a separate meeting with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu, Doval said New Delhi is "excited and delighted" about the upcoming engagement. He described previous India-Russia summits as "watershed moments" in bilateral ties and emphasised the importance of the forthcoming meeting. This will mark Putin's first visit to India since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began in 2022.
