“Landed in Moscow. Looking forward to further deepening the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between our nations, especially in futuristic areas of cooperation. Stronger ties between our nations will greatly benefit our people,” Modi tweeted.
He also thanked the Indian community for their affection shown in giving him a “memorable welcome in Moscow”.
