External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held wide-ranging talks in Moscow on Tuesday, covering bilateral cooperation, regional hotspots, global challenges and multilateral issues. The Russian foreign ministry said the two sides coordinated their approaches on the situations in Ukraine, Iran and Afghanistan, according to state-run TASS news agency.
Jaishankar posted on X that the conversation covered bilateral cooperation, regional hotspots, global challenges and multilateral issues. The visit comes ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's expected trip to New Delhi for the BRICS summit on September 12-13.
On Monday, Jaishankar met Putin to discuss trade, energy, fertilisers and nuclear cooperation. He also co-chaired the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission with Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both The New Indian Express and The Hindu reported the Jaishankar-Lavrov talks as straight diplomatic coverage, relying on Jaishankar's social media post and the TASS readout. Neither source added critical framing about the Ukraine war, Iran tensions or Afghanistan. The uniform neutral reporting reflects that the story was a standard official-visit brief. The key event to watch is Putin's expected visit to New Delhi on September 12-13 for the BRICS summit, which will test whether the broad agreement on regional issues translates into concrete outcomes.
