Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio’s three-day visit to India from Wednesday will provide an opportunity for both sides to further expand bilateral ties in trade and investment, defense and security and clean and green energy.
“The foreign minister’s visit will provide an opportunity to discuss the entire gamut of bilateral relations and further expand and deliver on our close partnership, particularly trade and investment linkages, defense and security, clean and green energy and science and technology cooperation,” the MEA said in a statement.
It said Jaishankar and Di Maio will review the progress of implementation of the ‘Action Plan 2020-24’ launched at a virtual summit in November 2020 and exchange views on regional and multilateral issues of mutual interest.
The Ukraine issue is likely to feature in the discussion.
