Indian PM Narendra Modi left for Russia on Tuesday to attend the BRICS Summit and said he is looking forward to meeting key leaders during his visit to Kazan.

"I am departing today on a two day visit to Kazan at the invitation of H.E. Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, to attend the 16th BRICS Summit," Modi said in his departure statement.

"India values the close cooperation within BRICS which has emerged as an important platform for dialogue and discussion on issues concerning the global developmental agenda, reformed multilateralism, climate change, economic cooperation, building resilient supply chains, promoting cultural and people to people connect, among others," Modi said.

"The expansion of BRICS with the addition of new members last year has added to its inclusivity and agenda for the global good," the Indian leader said.

Modi said his visit to Kazan will further reinforce the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia.

"I look forward to meeting other leaders from BRICS as well," Modi said.

Modi will visit Russia from October 22-23 at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin to attend the 16th BRICS Summit, being held in Kazan, under the Chairmanship of Russia.

"The Summit, themed 'Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,' will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.
