Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the Netherlands’ Afsluitdijk Dam, an iconic sea defense and water-management project, as India and the Netherlands explore cooperation on water and climate-resilient infrastructure. Multiple outlets report that Modi tours the dam during a trip accompanied by Dutch counterpart Rob Jetten. Indian officials describe Afsluitdijk as a symbol of innovation, highlighting its functions in water management, flood protection, and freshwater storage. One report notes the dam has helped protect large parts of the Netherlands from flooding connected to the Wadden Sea for more than 90 years. Modi also publicly links the visit to India’s water goals, including the Kalpasar Project in Gujarat, which seeks to create a freshwater reservoir and related infrastructure to address water scarcity and support flood protection. Reporting across outlets says the discussions focus on the relevance of Dutch expertise and modern technology for applications such as irrigation, flood management, and the expansion of inland waterway networks. The MEA and other sources emphasize the visit as part of broader Indo-Dutch collaboration in water management and climate resilience.
