Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a five-nation tour from May 15 to 20, visiting the United Arab Emirates, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy. The Ministry of External Affairs announced that Modi's first stop will be the UAE, where he will meet with President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss energy cooperation and bilateral trade. The UAE visit is particularly significant given the current geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Following this, Modi will visit The Netherlands from May 15-17, where he will engage with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, focusing on defense, security, and innovation. In Sweden, he will meet Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to enhance trade relations, which have reached $7.75 billion in 2025. Modi's visit to Norway from May 18-19 will be historic, marking the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 43 years, where he will participate in the Third India-Nordic Summit. Finally, Modi will conclude his tour in Italy, meeting with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella to discuss bilateral relations. This trip is expected to strengthen India's strategic partnerships in technology, energy, and defense amidst ongoing global challenges.
