MOSCOW. July 4 (Interfax) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Russia on July 8-9, the Kremlin press service said.

Moscow views this visit as a highly significant event, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said.

"This is practically one of the first or even the first trip of Modi after the election," Ushakov said.
