Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi this Wednesday. During the meeting, Modi took to social media to comment on their discussions in multiple languages, including Finnish. He expressed gratitude for Orpo's personal support for the free trade agreement between India and the EU, which he described as a golden age for relations between India and Europe. The agreement aims to double mutual trade, significantly strengthening economic ties between the two nations.

Modi also highlighted the importance of future collaborations in advanced technologies, such as 6G, along with innovations in clean energy, biofuels, the circular economy, and more. This interaction showcases Modi's growing interest in engaging with Finnish leaders in their own language, as he previously tweeted in Finnish regarding the historic free trade deal agreed upon in January, thanking European leaders for their efforts.

The meeting represents a continuation of diplomatic efforts to deepen economic ties between India and Finland, focusing not just on trade but also on technological collaboration. With India's status as the most populous country in the world and its growing role in international trade, such discussions are crucial for both nations as they navigate the changing landscape of global trade relations.
