PM Modi lands in Greece for his maiden visit, receives warm welcome

On the invitation of his Greek colleague Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed for Greece on Thursday after the BRICS Summit in South Africa. The last Indian Prime Minister to visit the nation was forty years ago, therefore PM Modi will be the first. 

MEA said in a press release, "Following his visit to South Africa, Prime Minister will pay an official visit to Greece on 25 August 2023 at the invitation of H.E. Mr Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece. This will be the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Greece in 40 years".

It further said, "India and Greece enjoy civilizational ties, which have strengthened in recent years through cooperation in areas like maritime transport, defence, trade and investments and people-to-people ties".
