PM Modi hosts private dinner for Russian President Putin at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg | VIDEO

Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi on Thursday evening for a two-day state visit that would further expand a nearly eight-decade India-Russia partnership. The Russian leader was received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at New Delhi's Palam airport with a hug and accorded him a warm welcome to India. Following this, both leaders travelled in the same car and arrived at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg -- the official residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi also hosted a private dinner for Putin, in reciprocal gesture to the hospitality extended to the Indian Prime Minister by the Russian leader during his visit to Moscow in July last year.
