MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin will make an official visit to India on January 25-26, the Kremlin press service said on Thursday.
 
"The Russian-Indian summit is timed to coincide with the celebrations of the Indian national holiday Republic Day, to which the Russian president is invited as the main guest," the statement said.   
 
Republic Day is celebrated in India on January 26, marking the day in 1950 when India's post-colonial Constitution came into force.   
 
In New Delhi, the foreign ministry said Putin would lead a high-powered delegation for talks.
 
"The two sides will discuss several bilateral issues including trade, investment, space, defence and high-technology," ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said.
 
"Putin and the Indian leadership will review relations and also discuss international issues of mutual concern," he said.   
 
Russia has accounted for more than 70 percent of India's military hardware but tardy delivery and a prolonged row over ruble-rupee trade have prompted India to shop for Western arms from countries including Britain, France, Israel and the United States.
