New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday asserted that both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping are “responsible” leaders and are capable of solving their issues and that it was important that no “extra-regional power” should interfere in the process.
With Russia publicly critical of the Quad, the four-nation grouping of India, the US, Japan and Australia, Putin also told that though it was not up to Moscow to assess how any nation should participate in an initiative and to what extent they should build their relations with other countries but no partnership should be aimed at making friends against anyone.
