Areas like trade, energy, space, clean energy, critical minerals, fertilisers and more offer immense potential in this regard.”

India and Germany are close friends, connected by shared values. This year we mark 25 years of our Strategic Partnership. We discussed how to work even more closely in areas like IT, manufacturing, semiconductors, sustainability, research and innovation. Chancellor Merz and I also had discussions on deepening defence and security linkages. We will keep working together in areas like counter terrorism and striking down on terror financing.”
PM Modi also met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. He wrote on X, “India’s friendship with Italy will continue to get stronger, greatly benefitting our people!”
The prime minister also interacted with French President Emmanuel Macron. “It’s always a delight to interact with my friend, President Emmanuel Macron and exchange perspectives on a wide range of issues. India and France will keep working closely for the betterment of our planet,” he wrote on X.

India and UK ties are getting stronger, reflecting in the ground we’ve covered in areas like trade and commerce. We will keep working together to add even more momentum to this wonderful friendship.”
After meeting Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, PM said, “Had a very good meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. Personally congratulated her on her historic electoral win, becoming the first female Mexican President in two centuries. We both see immense potential in India-Mexico ties growing even stronger in the times to come, especially in sectors like agriculture, semiconductors, critical minerals, healthcare and more. We also talked about ways to enhance people-to-people ties.”
