Russian President Vladimir Putin personally drove Indian PM Narendra Modi around his residence.
The choice of vehicle isn’t the famous Russian-made Aurus Senat L700 limousine but an eco-friendly electric golf cart.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in New Delhi on Thursday July 11th after concluding his two-day official visit to Moscow, where he met Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During his visit to Russia, Putin gave Modi a tour of his Novo-Ogaryovo state residence and the choice of vehicle isn’t the famous Russian-made Aurus Senat L700 limousine but an eco-friendly electric golf cart.
In a video shared on social media on Monday, Putin was seen personally driving Modi in a show symbolising the strengthening friendship between India and Russia.
“The Russian leader showed his Indian guest around the residence and gave him a drive in an electric car. Most of the time they spoke via interpreters. However, when they left the car and were walking to the garden they had a brief tete-a-tete conversation, probably in English,” according to Russian news agency TASS.
Following the tour of Putin’s residence on Monday, Modi, in a post on X, said :
“Gratitude to President Putin for hosting me at Novo-Ogaryovo this evening. Looking forward to our talks tomorrow as well, which will surely go a long way in further cementing the bonds of friendship between India and Russia.”
