Our talks covered sectors such as trade, commerce, defense, emerging technologies, and more. India and Italy will keep working together for global prosperity.”
Prime Minister Meloni’s visit marked her second to India, elevating bilateral relations to a Strategic Partnership during her State visit in March of the same year.
As part of his birthday celebrations, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the extension of the Airport Express line in Delhi’s Dwarka and took a metro ride. During the journey, he interacted with fellow passengers, who enthusiastically expressed their birthday wishes, clapped, sang “Happy Birthday Modi ji,” and even took selfies with him.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 73rd birthday has become a global celebration, reflecting the significance of his leadership on the international stage and the growing partnerships between nations.
