Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in New Zealand on the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 40 years, marking a significant milestone in bilateral relations. Welcomed with a traditional Māori Powhiri ceremony, PM Modi held talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. The two leaders elevated ties to a Strategic Partnership, unveiled the India–New Zealand Strategic Partnership Roadmap to 2030, and set an ambitious goal of doubling bilateral trade to NZ$7 billion (around ₹35,000 crore) by 2030.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump have met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Evian, France, marking their first face-to-face interaction in 16 months. The two leaders exchanged a warm handshake and were seen seated next to each other during the summit session. French President Emmanuel Macron personally welcomed PM Modi as world leaders gathered for the high-profile event. The meeting comes at a crucial time for India-US relations, with trade, tariffs, defence cooperation and strategic issues expected to dominate bilateral discussions.
