Modi will be in Gothenburg from May 17 to 18, including for bilateral talks with the Swedish prime minister. Economic and trade issues are top priorities, Modi emphasizes.
The government sees India, with the world's fastest-growing population and one of the fastest-growing economies, as one of the most important markets for Swedish companies.
For Sweden, there are hopes of deepening a number of partnerships and discussing areas where further steps can be taken. But the EU's free trade agreement is the basis for it all, the Swedish prime minister points out.
India is incredibly important to us. I think it's great that he's coming.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will also meet Narendra Modi in Gothenburg. This will be Modi's first visit to Sweden since 2018.
On May 19, Modi will also attend an Indian-Nordic summit in Oslo where Kristersson will participate alongside the other Nordic leaders.
