New Delhi , May 22 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides on Friday held delegation-level talks, focused on expanding the bilateral cooperation between New Delhi and Nicosia. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri were among those present. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, both leaders were expected to have extensive discussions on trade, investment, technology, education, culture, mobility, defence, and security, as well as emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, fintech, innovation, and research. The two leaders are also slated to exchange views on regional and global developments, including coordination in multilateral forums.Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides arrived in New Delhi on Thursday, following the Mumbai leg of his visit.The Ministry of External Affairs earlier noted how his visit builds on the momentum generated by Prime Minister Narendra Modis historic visit to Cyprus in June 2025 and reflects the shared commitment to further strengthening the India-Cyprus partnership. As part of the official state ceremonies, PM Modi will host a luncheon in honour of the visiting dignitary, and President Droupadi Murmu will receive President Christodoulides and host an official banquet at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Earlier, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar called on the Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides in New Delhi.In a post on X, Jaishankar said, Value his positive sentiments and guidance for strengthening our bilateral ties and India EU cooperation.

The Cyprus President is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos, Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades, and senior officials and business leaders. The engagement carries heightened diplomatic weight as the visit comes less than a year after PM Modis landmark trip to Cyprus in June 2025, the first by an Indian Prime Minister to the Mediterranean nation in over two decades. Adding further strategic significance to the engagement, Cyprus currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.The official itinerary commenced in Maharashtra, where President Christodoulides initially touched down and was accorded a ceremonial welcome by Governor Jishnu Dev Varma and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday. In an earlier post on X detailing that leg of the trip, the MEA had highlighted that India and Cyprus share time-tested, close relations rooted in shared values and strong people-to-people ties. While in Mumbai, the Cyprus President participated in a business forum specifically aimed at boosting commercial and investment ties between the two nations, with a strong focus on expanding broader economic engagement. With both nations looking to mark 65 years of diplomatic relations in 2027, officials have described this state visit as a crucial step in building on the growing momentum of the bilateral partnership and strengthening cooperation within the broader India-European Union framework.
