Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Bratislava on Sunday (local time) for the second leg of his two-nation visit, during which he will hold talks with President Peter Pellegrini and Prime Minister Robert Fico. He is also scheduled to interact with business leaders. PM Modi is on a State Visit to Slovakia from June 14 to 16 at the invitation of the Slovak PM. The visit is significant as it marks the first-ever trip by an Indian Prime Minister to Slovakia since the country gained independence in 1993.
According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Modi was welcomed by Slovak Foreign and European Affairs Minister Juraj Blanr and received a traditional bread-and-salt welcome, a symbol of hospitality, respect and goodwill in Slovakia. India and Slovakia are expected to discuss expanding cooperation in trade, investment, automobile manufacturing, railway production and emerging technologies. New Delhi also views the visit as an opportunity to further strengthen its engagement with the European Union, of which Slovakia is a member.
