A Wobbly Walk

Recently, Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Russia for a bilateral meeting with President Putin.

Reaffirmation of India-Russia ties
Modi received Russia’s highest civilian award
Announcement of a bilateral trade target of $100 billion by 2030
Assurance from Putin that Indian recruits in the Russian Army can return to India
However, there were no announcements of new military purchases given the delay over delivery of previous deals & international gaze.

US State Department and Ukraine were openly critical of the visit on its timing and optics
Seen as conflicting with NATO and Western alliance leaders’ summit in Washington, USA over attempts to (unsuccessfully) isolate Russia
Criticism intensified due to a devastating missile attack on Ukraine during Modi’s visit

What attempts were made to balance the visit’s perception?

Modi’s statement that there is “no solution on the battlefield” to the Ukraine conflict
Decision to travel to Vienna after Moscow
Focus on economic and trade relationships rather than military deals

What challenges does India face in maintaining its stance and relationships?

Balancing relationships with Russia, the US, and Europe
Asserting India’s independent foreign policy stance
Convincing the West that forcing India to choose sides is futile
Limiting potential damage to ties with the US and Europe
Navigating an increasingly polarized world while maintaining strategic autonomy
