Moscow, Dec 24 (IBNS) After a 'fruitful' meeting in a short but steady Russia visit by the Indian PM Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin gifts him a 18th century sword from Bengal among other things.

Modi took to Twitter to convey the developments.

He said, "President Putin gifted me a page from Gandhi ji's diary containing Bapu's handwritten notes."

Thanking Putin for the gifts, he said, "President Putin also gifted an 18th century sword from Bengal, featuring intricate silver artwork. I thank him for the gifts."

This is Modi's first Russia visit after he took the office in 2014 as Prime Minister of India.
