Amid geopolitical tensions, India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, embarked on a significant visit to Russia. The primary focus of the trip is to bolster bilateral energy and defense ties between the two nations.
This visit gains importance against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump's recent executive order imposing a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, a move reflecting displeasure over India's procurement of Russian crude oil, despite Western sanctions on Moscow.
During his visit, Doval is expected to negotiate Russia's continued energy supply and expedite the delivery of remaining S-400 air defense systems, vital for India's defense strategy, while also laying the groundwork for an impending summit between President Putin and Prime Minister Modi in India.
