This meeting became a symbol of the deep and strong relationship between India and Russia.

Strength of India-Russia relations

PM Modi has met Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom US President Donald Trump had to wait for eight months to meet, eight times in the last four hours. This figure shows the depth of trust and cooperation between the two countries. This meeting of the two leaders in Tianjin not only underlined the strength of India-Russia relations but also gave a clear message to the US and other countries of the world.

Modi-Putin meeting: Photos and tweets

Prime Minister Modi shared some pictures with President Putin during this meeting. In one picture, the two leaders were seen having a serious conversation, while in the other, they were seen hugging each other warmly. Sharing these pictures, PM Modi tweeted, "It is always a pleasure to meet President Putin." A few hours later, he shared another picture, in which both the leaders were sitting together in the backseat of a car. Along with this picture, he wrote, "After the meeting at the SCO summit venue, President Putin and I drove together to our bilateral meeting venue. Conversations with him are always enlightening."

Possibility of improvement in India-China relations

Another important event took place in this summit, when PM Modi, President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping met together. In this conversation of about two minutes, all three leaders looked very happy and excited. It is believed that President Putin is constantly advising China to strengthen its relations with India. This trilateral meeting has strengthened the possibilities of improvement in relations between India and China.

US tariffs and India-Russia trade

The meeting comes at a time when US President Donald Trump has imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports. Half of these tariffs are imposed as a penalty for India's trade relations with Russia, especially its purchase of Russian oil. The Trump administration has decided to double these tariffs from August 27, which is aimed at putting pressure on India. However, this strong partnership between India and Russia has given a different message on the global stage.
