Russian President Vladimir Putin Drives Indian PM Modi Around In Electric Golf Cart
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.”
