The significance of bolstering bilateral ties between the Netherlands and India was a topic of discussion between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte during a recent phone call. Rutte highlighted the need for more cooperation across a number of industries, with a special emphasis on agriculture, health, and water management.
The discussion takes place in the context of continuous initiatives to improve economic connectivity and collaboration in cutting-edge fields like green hydrogen and semiconductors. Both presidents recognized the important role that the sizable Indian population in the Netherlands plays in promoting both cultural and economic exchanges.
This discussion demonstrates a larger dedication to strengthening relations that has been reaffirmed by earlier meetings, like the most recent Foreign Office Consultations in The Hague, when both countries discussed potential future cooperation agendas.
