India and Sweden on Sunday agreed to elevate the bilateral relationship to a Strategic Partnership, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with his Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed gratitude to his Swedish counterpart Ulf Kristersson for the support India received from Sweden following the dastardly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam last year, saying that “both the countries will continue to fight against terrorism in all its forms as well as its supporters”.
In a joint press meet with his Swedish counterpart Kristersson, the Prime Minister also said that India and Sweden would continue increasing their cooperation in the defence sector, adding that the two countries are working on a long-term industrial partnership in this regard.
