In this special broadcast on India Today, anchors **Gaurav Sawant** and **Maria Shakil** discuss the historic visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to India for the 23rd Annual Summit. As President Putin receives a ceremonial guard of honour at Rashtrapati Bhawan, the panel, including **Dr Tara Kartha** and **Ambassador Rajiv Dogra**, analyses the strategic significance of the visit. Key topics include the ambitious $100 billion trade target, the potential S-500 defence deal, and the geopolitical implications of US President Donald Trump’s policies.
