New Delhi [India], March 8 (ANI): Finnish President Alexander Stubb concluded his official visit to India, a trip New Delhi describes as a milestone that elevates bilateral ties to a “Strategic Partnership in Digitalisation and Sustainability.”
The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal posted on X that the visit was “a defining moment in the Indian-Finland ties” and shared images of President Stubb being warmly seen off at the airport by Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani.
Stubb arrived in India at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and served as Chief Guest and keynote speaker at the 11th Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi. The visit included a high-level delegation of ministers, senior officials, and business leaders and focused on deepening cooperation across multiple sectors.
During his stay, President Stubb held talks with Prime Minister Modi on strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation on regional and global issues, including collaboration in multilateral forums, people-to-people ties, and economic partnerships. A luncheon was hosted by the Prime Minister in honour of the Finnish leader.
President Stubb also met President Droupadi Murmu and Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held a separate meeting with the visiting dignitary.
After engagements in Delhi, Stubb travelled to Mumbai, where he met the Governor and Chief Minister of Maharashtra, interacted with local business leaders, and addressed students at the University of Mumbai.
India and Finland share a warm, multifaceted relationship rooted in democratic values, with Finland an important partner for India in the EU and the Nordic region. President Stubb’s visit follows Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s trip to India for the AI Impact Summit in February, underscoring both countries’ intent to enhance bilateral cooperation. (ANI)
