Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis recently met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. During this discussion, the two leaders conducted a comprehensive review of their bilateral relations, confirming that they are at an excellent level of cooperation. This meeting comes two years after Mitsotakis's official visit to India, and a year and a half after Modi's visit to Athens, which marked a strategic partnership upgrade between Greece and India.

The leaders expressed a mutual desire to build on this momentum to deepen their relations, especially in defense, shipping, shipbuilding, and infrastructure sectors. Government sources noted that Mitsotakis emphasized Greece's geographical position and infrastructure, proposing that Greece could serve as a gateway for India to Europe. This aligns with Greece's keen interest in participating in the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor) economic initiative, which aims to enhance connectivity and foster trade between these regions.

The conversation between Mitsotakis and Modi highlights the strengthening ties between Greece and India, focusing not only on trade but also on strategic defense partnerships. The emphasis on infrastructure development and Greece’s strategic geographical location indicates a forward-looking approach to foreign policy that could significantly impact the economic relations between Europe and India.
