NEW DELHI: Prime
Minister Narendra Modi is headed to Sochi, a resort town in Russia for informal
talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 21. He arrives early morning
and will leave the same day. Like in Wuhan in China, PM Modi will hold several
one-on-one discussion with Mr Putin, and may have just one restricted bilateral
involving other officials. Vladimir Putin will also host a lunch for PM Modi,
but there will be no "guard of honour". There will be no other
minister accompanying the PM and no documents or joint statement is expected
from this meeting either.
Sources told NDTV that the no frills attached visit would be "agendaless, flexible and would have no formalities in terms of protocol," and would discuss several international and regional issues but not many domestic issues will be taken up as those are discussed at the annual summit between the two sides later in the year.
But talks on issues of energy cooperation in third countries and discussions on cyber security were not ruled out.
