PM
Modi
on
75th
Birthday
Just
last

and

spoke
over
the
phone,
reaffirming
their
strategic
partnership.

for
her
constructive

within
the
European

as
Russian
President
Vladimir
Putin,
Israeli
Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahu,
and
former
UK
Prime
Minister
Rishi
Sunak
also
conveyed
their
greetings,
it
was
Meloni’s
message
that
stood
out
for
its
warmth
and
emphasis
on
bilateral
cooperation.
Her
outreach
reflects
not
only
personal
goodwill
toward
Modi
but
also
Italy’s
intent
to
cement
itself
as
a
key
partner
for
India
in
Europe.
As
both
countries
look
ahead
to
enhanced
trade,
connectivity,
and
strategic
alignment,
Meloni’s
words
mark
another
milestone
in
the
evolving
India-Italy
friendship.
