Russian President Vladimir Putin had a discussion with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on how the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was implemented in India, a senior official said.
Putin told Modi that he was planning to implement the tax reform in his country.
"There was a discussion with President Putin on how we implemented the GST... He is planning to do it. So, there was a long discussion on that," the official said.
The GST was introduced in India on July 1, 2017.
The official added that in the the run-up to the 20th Indo-Russia Summit, there was discussion to have a joint tiger conservation initiative at a bilateral or multilateral level.

The two leaders also agreed to start Ganga-Volga Dialogue to rebuild the bond between the two peoples.
