‘Nicosia is an important ally in the Mediterranean and the EU’, the Indian Prime Minister stressed as he prepares for a two day official visit, the first in more than 20 years.
Narendra Modi said that his contacts on the island are an opportunity to strengthen historical ties and expand cooperation in areas such as commerce, investment, security, technology and people to people exchanges.
In a written statement, Modi, who will be attending the G7 summit in Canada next week and will also be visiting Croatia on his way back on the first such visit by an Indian PM, notes that he aims at deepening the historic and cultural ties between the two nations.
‘I am excited to be meeting global leaders at the G7 summit and strengthening bilateral ties with Croatia’, he added, underlining India’s commitment in effectively contributing to the solution of global issues and enhancing the priorities of the Global South.
Modi also expressed thanks towards the country’s partners for their unwavering support to India’s fight against cross-border terrorism.
