Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrives in Delhi today on a two – day state visit. In the context of the ongoing war with Ukraine, his visit to India has generated great anticipation.
The United States and Western nations have imposed various sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. India continued to abstain from voting against Russia at the UN. Thus the Western nations asked India to put pressure on Russia to stop the war.
Talib Singh, one of US President Joe Biden’s advisers and the country’s national security adviser, arrived in India yesterday to stress the point. As well as the British Foreign Secretary Liz Tsarum is coming to India today. In this context, the visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to Delhi for a two-day visit has drawn the attention of the entire world to India.
No information has been released on whom Sergei Lavrov will meet during the trip. However, he is expected to meet External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.
