Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday conferred Russia's highest civilian honour, 'Order of St Andrew the Apostle', on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for exceptional services in promoting bilateral ties between the two countries. It was announced back in 2019. Notably, PM Modi is on two-day visit to Russia.

"Honoured to receive the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. I dedicate it to the people of India," PM Modi said in a post on X after receiving the award at a ceremony in Moscow.

Established in 1698 by Tsar Peter the Great in honour of Saint Andrew, the first apostle of Jesus and patron saint of Russia, the Order of St Andrew the Apostle is the highest state decoration of Russia.

His remark came as PM Modi reiterated that India favours peace and "war is not the solution" in a bold message as innocent people continue to lose their lives amid the ongoing strikes in Ukraine.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday arrived in Moscow for a two-day visit to Russia. He was by Denis Manturov, Russia's first Deputy Prime Minister, at the airport.
