Modi seals strategic European partnerships

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has concluded a series of high-level meetings in Northern Europe, elevating India's relationships with Norway and Sweden to 'Green Strategic Partnerships.' The agreements prioritize cooperation in semiconductor manufacturing, space exploration, and sustainable maritime technology.

Modi's five-nation tour, which also includes the UAE and Italy, is seen as a strategic move to diversify India's supply chains amid the energy crisis fueled by the Iran war.

The visit to the Netherlands specifically focused on securing Dutch expertise for India's ambitious semiconductor fabrication goals.
