Discussions focused on the historic free trade agreement between India and the EU, which promises to strengthen collaborative efforts in several key sectors.
Modi highlighted the deal’s potential to catalyze a “golden age” in India-Europe relations, with a particular focus on defence, security and technology. The designation of 2026 as the India-Spain Year of Culture, Tourism and AI has been highlighted as a crucial step in promoting deeper ties between the nations.
