Russian President Vladimir Putin will be in India later this year to attend the next BRICS summit, Russian state-owned TASS news agency reported on Wednesday.
The report said that Putin will “definitely” attend the summit in person, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
No official dates have been announced, but TASS earlier cited an Indian government source as saying the summit is planned for September 12–13, dw.com reports.
Last December 4–5 Putin was on a two-day visit to India for the 23rd India–Russia Annual Summit, where both countries inked several agreements on migration, labor mobility, port access, shipping, and health and food safety sectors.
