Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India will embark on a week-long visit to Europe beginning around May 18. This trip aims to strengthen trade and investment ties against the backdrop of increased geopolitical uncertainties stemming from the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Modi's itinerary includes a significant stop in Norway, where he will participate in the third India-Nordic summit in Oslo, alongside leaders from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Norway. Discussions are expected to focus on critical issues such as green energy, climate change, and Arctic cooperation. Following Norway, Modi will visit the Netherlands, a key partner in water management and technology, before making his first bilateral visit to Italy as Prime Minister. Meetings with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will likely address defense, energy, and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. A potential meeting with the Pope at the Vatican is also anticipated, adding a diplomatic dimension to the visit.
