“There has been significant progress in India-Netherlands ties in last one decade,” PM Modi said in his televised opening remarks during the talks with Dutch PM Jetten.
In his remarks, the Prime Minister said India considers the Netherlands among its most important partners as the historical and people to people relations between the two sides are “deep” rooted.
“Democratic values, market economy and responsible behavior are part of our common approach. Our cooperation in areas of Water, healthcare and education has been making the lives of our people better,” he said.
Mr. Modi also highlighted India’s economic growth.
The Prime Minister suggested that there should be convergence of the Netherlands’ expertise and India’s “speed and skill” in every sector.
“We need to take our cooperation in areas of innovation, investment, sustainability and defence to new heights. Under this common vision, we are taking India-Netherlands relations to the level of strategic partnership,” Mr. Modi said.
