00:00Images are on your screens right now.
00:02We apologize that it's completely dark,
00:04but what we're trying to show you is the moment of Prime Minister Modi there
00:08getting out of his vehicle, getting set to welcome the Russian president.
00:13So any moment now you will watch out for images of Prime Minister Modi
00:18with Russian President Putin.
00:20Those are the first images on our screens.
00:22Hugely significant, Gaurav, that you have Prime Minister Modi there at the Parliament airport
00:27and very telling that he's chosen to be there personally to welcome President Putin.
00:31We were first hearing it's going to be Dr. S.J. Shankar.
00:34It looks like Prime Minister Modi said that,
00:35no, my good friend Putin, I will welcome him personally.
00:38So this is the Palam technical area.
00:41This is where military aircraft and VVIP aircraft land.
00:45There is a small ops room and a briefing room.
00:48You know, when VVIPs come in, you know, they briefed or debriefed
00:52just before they board that flight.
00:54That's the room where the Prime Minister is now waiting.
00:56The moment there's touchdowns, so the Prime Minister has arrived,
01:00the moment President Putin's plane touches down
01:02and then taxis to this zone at Palam technical area,
01:07the Prime Minister will receive him.
01:08He's done this with world leaders in the past, but very rarely,
01:12you know, in his tenure.
01:14So he's received Sheikh Hasina, Barack Obama, Donald Trump,
01:17the Emirates...
