New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to visit India later this year to participate in the upcoming BRICS Summit 2026, marking a major diplomatic engagement between India and Russia amid rapidly evolving global geopolitical dynamics.
Government sources indicate that preparations are already underway for the high-profile summit, which will bring together leaders of BRICS member nations including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with newly inducted partner countries. The summit is expected to focus on global trade reforms, alternative financial systems, energy security, artificial intelligence, and strengthening cooperation among emerging economies.
President Putin’s proposed visit assumes significance as it would be one of his major international engagements outside Russia amid continuing Western sanctions and the prolonged Ukraine conflict. Analysts believe Moscow is keen to further deepen strategic and economic ties with India, especially in the areas of defence, energy, nuclear cooperation, and trade settlements in national currencies.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Putin are expected to hold extensive bilateral talks on the sidelines of the summit. Discussions are likely to include crude oil imports, defence manufacturing partnerships, connectivity corridors, and regional security developments in Asia and the Middle East.
Diplomatic observers say India’s hosting of the BRICS summit reflects New Delhi’s growing role as a leading voice of the Global South and an influential player in multipolar world politics. The summit is also expected to witness discussions on reforms in international institutions, expansion of BRICS cooperation mechanisms, and reducing dependence on Western-dominated financial structures.
Security arrangements for the summit are expected to be extensive given the participation of multiple world leaders and heightened geopolitical tensions globally. Officials have stated that formal dates and schedules for the summit will be announced after consultations among participating countries.
President Putin’s India visit is being viewed as another signal of the enduring strategic partnership between New Delhi and Moscow despite changing global alliances and increasing pressure from Western powers on Russia.
