Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the Netherlands for the second leg of a five-nation tour, aiming to deepen bilateral cooperation with Dutch leadership. Multiple outlets report that he is scheduled to hold talks with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten in The Hague, focusing on expanding ties in areas including trade and investment, semiconductors, clean energy and renewable energy, and water management. Coverage also highlights broader cooperation in technology and emerging technologies, and defence as a topic of discussion.
On the sidelines of the visit, Modi meets Dutch royalty at the Royal Palace. Reports say he met King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, with discussion centred on cooperation in digital technology, innovation, fintech and the “blue economy,” alongside tech and trade links.
Some reports note that the India-EU Free Trade Agreement is expected to support greater trade and investment between the two countries, and Modi has invited Dutch companies to design, innovate and manufacture in India. Additional coverage mentions his visit including attention to a semiconductor manufacturing agreement and opportunities for the Indian community, alongside official receptions on arrival.
