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.


In his media statement, the prime minister said that it was agreed that there should be an institutional dialogue framework between India and Greece at the level of national security advisors. “We have decided to boost cooperation in areas of defence and security, infrastructure, education, new and emerging technologies, and agriculture,” Modi said.


Both sides also focused on enhancing cooperation to combat terrorism. In the area of defence and security, both agreed on strengthening defence industrial cooperation apart from military ties.
