The beginning of the state visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin was unexpected. He was met at the plane ramp by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, although this was not provided for in the program.
"Prime Minister Modi himself came to meet Putin. It was a decision that was made suddenly, we didn't know about it," said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian leader.
After the greetings, Putin and Modi began to chat animatedly, they clapped the Indian girls together, who performed a traditional dance in honor of the distinguished guest, and then got into the same car.
