India and Greece on Friday elevated their ties to the level of strategic partnership with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis resolving to give a new momentum to the relationship, especially in areas of defence and security, trade and emerging technologies.

Modi said both sides also set a target of doubling bilateral trade by 2030 and decided to firm up a migration and mobility partnership pact soon to facilitate skilled migration between the two countries. “Prime Minister Mitsotakis and I decided to take India-Greece relations to the level of strategic partnership,” Modi said after his talks with his Greek counterpart.
