PM Modi Begins Five-Nation Tour to Strengthen Trade and Strategic Ties
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on a significant five-nation tour from May 15-20, visiting the UAE, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy. The itinerary aims to deepen India's strategic partnerships in trade, technology, energy, and green growth while reinforcing engagement with Europe and the Gulf region. Starting in Abu Dhabi, Modi will meet UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss energy cooperation and investment. Subsequent stops include the Netherlands for talks on semiconductors and water management, Sweden for discussions on AI and supply chains, Norway for the India-Nordic Summit, and Italy for bilateral talks with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) highlighted the tour's importance, noting it comes at a crucial juncture following recent trade agreements with the EU and EFTA. With bilateral trade exceeding USD 70 billion collectively, the visit is expected to create new opportunities for Indian exporters in sectors like engineering, pharmaceuticals, and clean energy, boosting investor confidence and industrial partnerships across these key global regions.
