And, he thanked the prime minister for high-level participation from India at the Eastern Economic Forum,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in Xiamen.
Kumar said several bilateral issues such as cooperation in the oil and natural gas sector were discussed during the Modi-Putin meeting.
Kumar said the two leaders also discussed how they should work together to promote trade and investment.
During the meeting, the two leaders also discussed cultural exchanges.
“President Putin mentioned about the ‘Festival of India’, which was organised in Russia earlier this year. Discussions also took place on the promotion of tourism between the two countries and also on the student exchange between the two sides,” Kumar said.
