Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Italy on the fifth and final leg of his five-nation tour and received a grand welcome in Rome.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will discuss key bilateral issues with the Italian leadership. He is scheduled to call on President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and hold talks with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Prime Minister Modi had last visited Italy in June 2024 to attend the G7 Summit.
The visit comes amid growing momentum in India-Italy bilateral ties, with both countries implementing the Joint Strategic Action Plan 2025–2029, a comprehensive roadmap for cooperation across sectors. These include trade, investment, defence and security, clean energy, innovation, science and technology, and people-to-people ties.
Bilateral trade between the two countries reached USD 16.77 billion in 2025, while cumulative FDI from Italy into India stood at USD 3.66 billion between April 2000 and September 2025.
The visit is being seen as significant for further expanding India-Italy cooperation.
