Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico in Bratislava and the two leaders announce an elevation of India–Slovakia relations to the status of a “Comprehensive Partnership.” The joint initiative is framed as covering multiple areas of cooperation. According to the outlets, the leaders discuss and agree to deepen collaboration in defence, including steps that would support future cooperation, such as a letter of intent mentioned in one report. They also plan work on counter-terrorism, including a proposed joint working group. Trade and technology are identified as additional priority areas for further engagement. Reports also reference a technology-related and broader economic agenda, alongside cooperation in areas such as energy and culture in the joint statement described by one outlet. Separately, one report says the governments agree on labour migration through an MoU, and both countries call for reforms to global bodies. Modi is described as on a two-day visit to Bratislava and later travelling to France for the G7 summit.
