PM Modi to depart for tour to Cyprus, Canada and Croatia tomorrow

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will depart on a three-nation tour – Cyprus, Canada and Croatia —  on Sunday morning.

The PM will first stop at Cyprus and Canada will form the second leg of his tour and he will attend the G-7 summit on the invitation of Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney.

The G7 meeting is on June 16-17 at Kananaskis in Canada. This would be Prime Minister’s 6th consecutive participation in the G-7 Summit. At the Summit, the Prime Minister will exchange views with leaders of G-7 countries, other invited outreach countries and heads of international organisations on crucial global issues, including energy security, technology and innovation, particularly the AI-energy nexus and Quantum-related issues. The Prime Minister will also hold several bilateral meetings on the side-lines of the summit, the Ministry of External Affairs said.

Before arriving in Canada, Modi will be in Cyprus on June 15-16 on the invitation of President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides.

This will be the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Cyprus in over two decades. While in Nicosia, the Prime Minister will hold talks with President Christodoulides and address business leaders in Limassol. The visit will reaffirm the shared commitment of the two countries to deepen bilateral ties and strengthen India’s engagement with the Mediterranean region and the European Union.

In the final leg of his tour, Modi will go to Croatia, on June 18. This will be the first ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Croatia. Modi will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and meet the President of Croatia, Zoran Milanović.
