Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to commence a five-nation diplomatic tour on May 15, starting in the UAE and continuing to the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy. This marks Modi's first visit to the Gulf region since escalating tensions in West Asia. In the UAE, he will meet President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss bilateral ties and energy cooperation, particularly in securing India's energy imports amid recent geopolitical strains. Following his UAE stop, Modi will visit the Netherlands for bilateral talks and meetings with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima. His itinerary includes a visit to Sweden for the second India-Nordic Summit, where he will engage in discussions on trade, technology, and climate action. Modi's visit to Norway will be historic, being the first by an Indian Prime Minister in over four decades, with a focus on innovation and clean technology. The tour will conclude in Italy, where Modi will meet with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to further strengthen bilateral relations.
