Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday met Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks in which India is expected to raise concerns over growing Russia-Pakistan military ties besides looking at ways of ramping up their “privileged partnership” in areas of defence and nuclear energy.

Putin, who arrived in Goa after a delay of nine hours due to fog, held restricted talks with Modi after which the two leaders will be joined by their respective delegations.

“We expect a very fruitful discussion on various issues. Defence and security issues to dominate,” MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.

The two sides are expected to sign over a dozen agreements especially in the field of defence and energy in the afternoon following the talks.
