Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit India, and the dates for the trip will be decided early next year, a Kremlin aide has said.
"We received Modi's invitation and we will certainly consider it positively," Yury Ushakov announced in Moscow. "We will figure out the tentative dates early next year."

The Russian embassy in New Delhi quoted Ushakov as saying that Putin and Modi have an agreement to hold meetings once a year. “This time, it's our turn."
The embassy also said that Putin and Modi speak over the phone once every few months.
This year, Modi travelled to Moscow to participate in the 22nd Russia-India summit. In October, Modi visited Russia's Kazan for a two-day visit to attend the BRICS Summit.
