He further added that his visit to Sweden was marked by several important outcomes that will add new momentum to relations.

PM Modi took to social media 'X' and said, "My visit to Sweden was marked by several important outcomes that will add new momentum to India-Sweden relations."

"From elevating our ties to a Strategic Partnership, launching the Joint Innovation Partnership 2.0 and the India-Sweden Technology and Artificial Intelligence Corridor, to setting an ambitious goal of doubling bilateral trade in the next five years, the discussions were highly productive," he said.
