Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India in December, according to a Kremlin aide, as ties between the two countries grow closer in the face of US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Indian imports over its purchases of Russian oil.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters that Putin will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in China on Monday, where they would discuss “preparation for the December visit".

Earlier, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval had confirmed that Putin will visit India soon, although the dates were yet to be finalised at the time. “We have got a special, long relationship and we value this relationship," he said.
