Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Sweden on May 17 and 18, as part of a five-nation tour aimed at strengthening bilateral ties in various sectors, including innovation, green technologies, and trade. This marks his second visit to Sweden, following the 2018 India-Nordic Summit. The visit, at the invitation of Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, aims to review and enhance cooperation amid evolving geopolitical challenges. Key discussions will cover artificial intelligence, resilient supply chains, climate action, and defence manufacturing. PM Modi will hold talks in Gothenburg, Sweden’s industrial hub, where he will engage with industry leaders and explore investment opportunities. Bilateral trade has significantly increased, reaching nearly $7.75 billion by 2025, with Swedish investments in India totaling around $2.825 billion since 2000. The visit also includes participation in the European Round Table for Industry, where PM Modi and PM Kristersson will address top European CEOs. This diplomatic outreach is part of India's strategy to deepen partnerships across Europe and the Gulf, culminating in the upcoming third India-Nordic Summit in Norway.
