Historic Slovakia Visit Concludes
PM Modi arrived in France after concluding a landmark visit to Slovakia, the first by an Indian Prime Minister since the country’s independence in 1993.

Stronger trade relations will greatly benefit our youth. Gratitude to the Slovakian government and people for the warmth. I am very grateful to Prime Minister Fico for coming to see me off,” he said.
Jaiswal noted that the visit marked a new chapter in India-Slovakia relations.
