Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which has repeated the traditional goals of foreign policy in India, visits Cyper and Croatia, official sources in Nový Delhi said on Monday (9 June 2025).
Mr. Modi visits Cyprus on his way to Canada to attend the G-7 summit (June 15-17), and will visit Croatia on his way back, which will be the first visit to the Prime Minister from the Indian side since the foundation of Croatia in 1991 after the abolition of the former Yugoslavia.
Both visits are described as important from both political and commercial. Sources in Nový Delhi indicated that Cyprus would serve as a report by Türkiy, which helped Pakistan during the Sindoor operation in May. It will also act as an early recovery of contacts at the highest level, as Cyprus will be in the first half of 2026 to take over the President of the European Union from Pakistan in Pakistan on the basis of Pakistan on the basis of a discussion.
Cyprus was consistent to support India about the problem of Kashmir and cross -border terrorism from Pakistan. In addition to the North Cyprus, the Mediterranean country, in addition to the UN Security Council, a group of nuclear suppliers, and an international atomic energy agency and an atomic energy agency and an atomic energy agency and an atomic energy agency. In the gesture, India supported the solution of the Cype territorial dispute according to the UN resolution, international law and the EU Acquis, the EU collective body on laws and regulations.
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi visited Cyprus in 1982, while Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited the island nation in 2002. S. Jaishankar visited Nikosia in December 2022, while President RAM Nath Kovind visited in 2018.
Mr. Modi’s visit to Croatia is also described as a tribute to the strong tradition of Indology that exists in the country. The University of Zagreb was the seat of serious studies of Indology and Croatia is known in the presence of ISKCON (International Society of Krishna Consciousness).
In recent years, these cultural contacts have been complemented by growing defensive and technological relations. Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić-Radman took part in the dialogue of Raisin in March 2023 when he signed a memorandum of understanding about defensive cooperation with Mr. Jaishankar.
Sources said that a visit to Croatia has another diplomatic significance because it suggests that India is a constant commitment to partners of irregularities, because the former founder of Yugoslavia Josip Broz was also Croatian.
Officials in Nový Delhi said that both Cyprus and Croatia have gained increasing importance in recent years after the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) has launched during the G-20 summit in Nový Delhi in 2023. Croatia, with extensive naval facilities and ports on the Adriatic Sea, is attractive to India’s commitment to IMEC, said sources and set the context of the upcoming visits to Modi.
