During the visit, PM Modi is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten and meet King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. Discussions are expected to focus on key areas including semiconductors, defence, renewable energy, innovation, maritime cooperation and sustainable water management.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said that India and the Netherlands have expanded their partnership beyond traditional sectors such as agriculture and trade, moving towards advanced technologies, defence cooperation and green energy initiatives. PM Modi is also expected to interact with Dutch business leaders to encourage investments and deepen economic engagement.
The Netherlands leg marks the second stop of PM Modi’s five-nation tour, which includes visits to the UAE, Sweden, Norway and Italy, aimed at strengthening India’s global strategic and economic partnerships.
