Big-Ticket Defence Deals Lined Up For PM Modi-Putin Meet Today

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who arrived in Delhi on Thursday, will get down to business with Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in a bilateral meeting that is expected to end with the signing of a number of big defence deals. Mr Putin was greeted by foreign minister Sushma Swaraj at the airport yesterday. Later in the evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed him with a hug before the two sat down for a private meeting, followed by dinner, at the prime minister's official residence. One of the highlights of Mr Putin's visit is India's interest in buying the S-400 air defence missile system worth $5 billion, amid threat by the US of tough sanctions.
