PM Modi’s Slovakia visit

PM Modi is on an official visit to Slovakia, becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the country since it became an independent nation following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993.

During the visit, India and Slovakia elevated bilateral ties to a “comprehensive partnership” and signed 11 agreements aimed at strengthening cooperation across several sectors, including migration, digital technology and defence. The agreements were finalised following extensive discussions between the two sides on expanding strategic and economic collaboration.

“India and Slovakia are also moving forward in close coordination on the global stage. We agree that all disputes and tensions should be resolved peacefully. We will continue to work together with all partners in this direction,” Modi said after meeting Fico.
