Modi and Putin Share Car to Nomad Games After SCO Talks

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin travelled in the same car to the opening ceremony of the VI World Nomad Games at Bishkek Arena, a gesture reflecting the warmth of ties between the two leaders. The two travelled together after their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Bishkek.

During the meeting, Modi reiterated India's support for peaceful efforts to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2022. "Every day spent in war sets humanity back, whereas every step taken towards peace fills humanity with new hope and enthusiasm. We must move away from endless war and an end to the war. This is essential for the well-being of humanity," Modi said.

He added, "We have consistently discussed the issue of Ukraine. When we met previously, you briefed me in detail on all aspects of the matter. As you know, India supports all efforts towards peace and will continue to do so. A peaceful resolution to all issues at the earliest is the call of humanity, and this is India's message. The land of Gandhi and the land of Buddha share a single message — the path of peace."

Modi also recalled his remark at the 2022 SCO Summit in Samarkand, where he had said, "Today's era is not an era of war." That statement was widely noted and lauded by global leaders.

According to Russian state news agency TASS, Putin met Modi at the Aksakal Meeting Room at the Bishkek Ala Archa State Residence, with the Russian president accompanied by a delegation that included ministers and other senior officials. At the start of the meeting, Putin noted that relations between Russia and India were continuing to grow stronger.

Translating Putin's words, an interpreter said, "I would like to note with satisfaction that Russian-Indian relations continue to strengthen on the basis of the principles of a special and privileged partnership. Distinguished Prime Minister, this is aided by your special attention to Russian-Indian relations and the business and friendly relations that have been established between us. I am very grateful to you for that."

Russia remains one of India's key strategic partners, particularly in the defence and energy sectors.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
