Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on an official visit to Russia and Austria from July 8 to 10, the ministry of external affairs said on Thursday.

The prime minister will be in Moscow on July 8-9, at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin, to hold the 22nd India-Russia Annual Summit.

“The leaders will review the entire range of multifaceted relations between the two countries and exchange views on contemporary regional and global issues of mutual interest,” the ministry said.

It will be Modi’s first trip to Russia since Moscow launched its military offensive in Ukraine.

The visit was first announced by Russian officials last month, but the dates have not been previously disclosed.

Modi and Putin will discuss “prospects for further development of traditionally friendly Russian-Indian relations, as well as relevant issues on the international and regional agenda,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
