For the second time in a week, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised India's growth story and said its people were "very talented" and "purposeful" and would help the country achieve outstanding results in its development.
Mr. Putin's comments came just ahead of External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's visit to Moscow on November 7 and 8.
Speaking at a meeting on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Russian Historical Society on the National Unity Day on Friday, Mr. Putin said, "Let's take a look at India. Very talented people, purposeful, with such a drive for internal development will, of course, achieve outstanding results."
Mr. Putin also spoke about colonialism and Russia's civilisation and culture.
“We have special ties with India that are built on the foundation of really close allied relations for decades. We never had any outstanding issues with India, we have always supported each other and I’m positive that’s how it will remain in the future as well,” Mr. Putin had said.
He had also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for pursuing an "independent foreign policy" in the interest of his country.
Mr. Putin said India had walked a great development path from being a British colony to its modern State.
