Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters on Sept. 13 that Russian President Vladimir Putin would hold a full set of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the SCO summit with a large number of the attending leaders, including with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “A conversation on international agenda with Modi will also take place, the sides will discuss issues of strategic stability, the situation in the Asia Pacific Region, and, of course, cooperation within major multilateral formats, such as the UN, the G20 and the SCO.” India will be heading both the SCO and the G20 in the coming period.
