NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar is set to visit Moscow for the 26th India-Russia Commission and meet his counterpart Sergey Lavrov, the ministry of external affairs said on Thursday.
The two leaders are expected to discuss trade amid additional tariffs being faced by India because of its continuous purchase of Russian oil.
"EAM Dr S Jaishankar is expected to visit Moscow for the 26th session of the India-Russia intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, technological and cultural cooperation. This is to happen later this month. We will share with you further updates at the appropriate time," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
Lavrov on Wednesday informed that the two leaders would discuss the "key issues on our bilateral agenda, as well as key aspects of cooperation within international frameworks."
This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a telephonic conversation and reaffirmed the "commitment to further deepen the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership."
Moreover, PM Modi also had a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy where the two leaders talked about "sanctions against Russia" and New Delhi's oil purchases.
"We also talked in detail about sanctions against Russia. I noted that it is necessary to restrict the export of Russian energy resources, especially oil, to reduce its potential and ability to finance the continuation of this war. It is important that now every leader who has significant leverage over Russia sends appropriate signals to Moscow," Zelenskyy said.
