Russian President Vladimir Putin is welcomed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Goa ahead of the BRICS Summit. 

The MEA Twitter feed wrote, "An annual renewal of Druzba Dosti begins! PM Narendra Modi warmly welcomes President Putin for the India-Russia Summit. 

Putin's arrival in Goa today was delayed due to poor visibility with thick fog making it difficult for his plane to land in the coastal state.

The Russian President was first scheduled to arrive at 1 am at INS Hansa base, which is adjacent to the Dabolim Airport, but his arrival was delayed due to thick fog in the region. 

Heavy security was in place along the road connecting INS Hansa base to the summit's venue hotel in Benaulim village.
