Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Indian President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on India's 76th Republic Day. Putin on Sunday said that Russian-Indian relations are based on "special and privileged strategic partnership" and hoped that the two countries will use joint efforts to continue to consistently build up productive bilateral cooperation across all areas.

"Russian-Indian relations are based on special and privileged strategic partnership," Putin said. “I am confident that we will use joint efforts to continue to consistently build up productive bilateral cooperation across all areas, as well as constructive interaction in international affairs,” he asserted.

Putin praised India's achievements in socioeconomic, scientific, technical, and other fields, noting that the country has gained well-deserved authority in the international arena. He also acknowledged the Indian Constitution, which came into force 75 years ago, as the foundation for building effective state institutions and a free democratic development of India.

The Russian President expressed his confidence that the strong partnership between Russia and India will continue to grow, meeting the fundamental interests of both nations and contributing to a fair multipolar international order. 

In his message, Putin said that the Indian Constitution that came into force 75 years ago laid the foundation for building effective state institutions and a free democratic development of India. "Since then, your country has achieved universally recognised successes in socioeconomic, scientific, technical and other fields and has gained well-deserved authority in the international arena," he added.

Russian President Putin is expected to visit India this year as part of the established framework for reciprocal annual engagements between the leaders of the two nations. The dates for his visit will be finalised in early 2025.

Notably, President Putin and PM Modi have maintained regular contact, holding telephone conversations every couple of months and in-person meetings on the sidelines of international events. In July last year, Prime Minister Modi visited Moscow for the 22nd Russia-India summit, and in October, he attended the BRICS summit in Kazan.
