PM Modi Embarks on Strategic Diplomatic Tour of Canada, Cyprus, and Croatia
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to begin a significant three-nation diplomatic tour from June 15, 2025, reinforcing India’s global outreach and bilateral partnerships across North America and Eastern Europe. The visit will include key stops in Canada, Cyprus, and Croatia, with the first leg dedicated to attending the prestigious G7 Summit in Canada as a special invitee.
This tour marks not only India’s growing influence in global governance discussions but also a historic milestone in bilateral relations with Cyprus, where no Indian Prime Minister has set foot in over two decades. The journey is expected to yield substantial outcomes in areas such as trade, technology, tourism, investment, and defence cooperation, reflecting New Delhi’s commitment to expanding its strategic and economic footprint worldwide.
India’s Global Role Expands at G7 Summit and Historic Cyprus Visit
The tour will begin with PM Modi’s participation in the G7 Summit hosted by Canada, where leaders of the world’s most advanced economies will discuss pressing global issues such as climate change, AI regulation, global security, and inclusive economic growth. India’s invitation to the summit once again underscores its rising status as a critical voice in global policymaking.
Following Canada, Modi will visit Cyprus, a landmark moment as it will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the island nation in over 20 years. Describing the visit as “historic,” Manish, the High Commissioner of India to Cyprus, emphasized its significance:
“This is a historic visit for several reasons… The most significant outcomes will be in trade, technology, tourism and investment. We will also discuss defence, security cooperation, and people-to-people contact.”

India and Cyprus share democratic values and long-standing diplomatic ties. The visit is expected to revitalize economic and strategic relations, particularly in financial services, cybersecurity, renewable energy, and higher education.
Croatia Visit to Deepen Eastern European Strategic Ties
PM Modi’s final stop will be Croatia, a key Eastern European partner where India aims to strengthen ties in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, information technology, infrastructure, and defense technology.
The Croatia visit is part of a broader strategy to enhance India’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe, regions that are increasingly playing important roles in global supply chains and innovation ecosystems. In recent years, both countries have worked on boosting cultural exchanges, academic collaborations, and bilateral trade, and Modi’s visit is expected to fast-track several pending agreements.
Together, these three visits mark a carefully crafted diplomatic roadmap that reinforces India’s image as a trustworthy global partner, committed to peace, development, and multipolar engagement in an evolving world order.
