NEW DELHI: Defence and security dominated discussions between India and Sweden as both countries signed agreements to begin a strategic innovation partnership, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Swedish PM Stefan Lofven in Stockholm.
MEA spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar said, the two leaders had a "fruitful discussion on issues related to cooperation in innovation, trade and investment, culture and exchanged views on regional and multilateral cooperation at the delegation-level talks.”

Modi said after the talks, “A key pillar of our bilateral ties is our defence and security cooperation. In the defence sector, Sweden has been India's partner from a long time. I have faith that in future also in this sector, particularly in defence production, there will be plenty of opportunities for bilateral cooperation. We have decided to strengthen our cooperation in the security sector, particularly in cyber security."

Two documents were signed between India and Sweden following the delegation-level talks- Innovation Partnership and a Joint Action Plan- to maximise bilateral cooperation for the benefit of the people. In a joint press statement after the talks, Prime Minister Modi said the two sides focused on how Sweden can help India in its development journey.

"Sweden has been a strong supporter of 'Make in India' initiative from the beginning. Prime Minister Lofven had participated in our 'Make in India' programme in 2016 along with a big business delegation," Modi said. "I believe that the most important topic in our talks today was how Sweden can have a win-win partnership with India on the opportunities arising out of India's development. As a result, we have agreed on an innovation partnership and a joint action plan," he said.
