During a summit in New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker announced 15 agreements focusing on defence, technology, and trade. A significant outcome is the establishment of a Joint Working Group aimed at enhancing cooperation in counter-terrorism. The Letter of Intent (LoI) on defence will create an institutional framework for military cooperation, building on the India-EU Defence and Security Partnership initiated on January 27, 2026. Modi highlighted the importance of peaceful conflict resolution in regions like West Asia and Ukraine, asserting that military conflicts cannot solve underlying issues. He also noted that the collaboration between India and Austria will leverage Austrian expertise in infrastructure, such as tunneling, to ensure reliable technology and supply chains globally. This partnership aims to strengthen ties in sectors like defence, semiconductors, quantum technology, and biotechnology.
