Congress Highlights Longstanding India-Russia Ties Amid Modi-Putin Talks
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the BRICS Summit 2026, Congress highlighted the longstanding India-Russia relationship, emphasizing its foundations laid during the Soviet era. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh traced key milestones from Jawaharlal Nehru's 1955 visit to the 1971 Indo-Soviet Treaty and subsequent cooperation under leaders like Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh. While acknowledging Modi's current engagement, Congress stressed that the strategic partnership predates his tenure and was built over decades by successive governments.
