At the Valdai International Discussion Club's 20th annual meeting, Putin praised India's leadership of the G20 Summit.

India's Independent Global Role

Putin also lauded India for its independent stance on the global stage. He stated, "I would like to say that the Indian leadership is independent and strongly nationally oriented. They (the West) try to portray those who are not willing to blindly follow these Western elite groups as enemies. They have used this approach with various countries, including China, and tried to do this to India in certain situations."

The event in Sochi drew a diverse crowd of 140 experts, politicians, and diplomats from 42 countries spanning Eurasia, Africa, North and South America, highlighting the international significance of Putin's remarks.

Responding to a question about his absence at the BRICS Summit in South Africa and the G20 Summit in India, Putin adopted a pragmatic approach, stating, "Why do I need to create some problems for friends during the organization of these events? We are adults, and we understand that if I come, some political campaigns will start, which will be aimed at undermining the summit." This statement underscores Putin's desire to maintain positive relationships with his counterparts.
