Leaders noted steady progress across multiple sectors, from trade to technology. Conversations extended to regional stability, global challenges, and untapped opportunities for collaboration in emerging fields. Special emphasis was placed on recent connectivity initiatives and the potential of the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) to revolutionize trade routes.
Both leaders celebrated the momentum from high-level exchanges, including Mitsotakis’s landmark 2024 visit—the first by a Greek head of government in 15 years—and Modi’s 2023 trip to Athens, where ties were elevated to strategic partnership status. The recent India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations promise to unlock new avenues for commerce and investment, fostering economic synergy.

As both nations eye deeper integration, investors are optimistic about fresh opportunities in shipping, defense, and digital innovation. The dialogue sets a promising stage for future summits and joint ventures, signaling a brighter era of India-Greece cooperation.
