Putin's Visit to India Highlights Strategic Importance Amid Global Tensions
Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India underscores the strategic importance of the relationship between the two nations. Despite international tensions, particularly regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine, India continues to engage with Russia, including purchasing oil despite an embargo. The visit resulted in economic agreements, although no major breakthroughs were achieved. Historically, India has maintained a friendly relationship with Russia, dating back to the Cold War era. The visit also highlights the geopolitical dynamics in South Asia, where India plays a crucial role in regional stability and strategic alliances, such as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (The Quad) involving the U.S., Japan, and Australia.
