Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a historic state visit to Slovakia, marking the first-ever visit by an Indian leader since the country's independence in 1993.
During his visit, PM Modi invited Slovak counterpart Robert Fico to India, saying he was pleased to have witnessed a historic moment in their relations.
The two leaders held talks aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and upgrading ties between India and Slovakia to a Comprehensive Partnership.
PM Modi and Fico discussed new avenues of cooperation across key sectors, including trade and investment, defence and security, technology and innovation, space and nuclear energy, education and culture, as well as talent mobility and people-to-people exchanges.
The meeting led to agreements and understandings in several areas, including digital technologies, defence, cybersecurity, post-quantum technologies, audio-visual creation, mobility, and scientific cooperation.
PM Modi said that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between India and Slovakia on labour migration, which would enhance the mobility of professionals and skilled workers between the two countries.
