Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev on the sidelines of the ongoing East Asia Summit 2014 in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw.
"I am glad to meet you. Earlier, Russia's former Prime Minister had come to India. We had a very nice discussion on various issues, and now, we are waiting for Russian President Vladimir Putin to visit the country on December 11. People in India are very excited to welcome him," Prime Minister Modi told Prime Minister Medvedev.
"I am waiting that on December 11 we will be able to attain new heights in terms of our relationship with Russia," he said further.
Prime Minister Modi is in Myanmar as part of his 10-day trip to three nations, the other two being Australia and Fiji.
Yesterday, he interacted with the leaders of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.
Prime Minister Modi will also participate in the G-20 Summit in Brisbane.
