Oli ilo tavata Suomen pääministeri, herra Petteri Orpo. Tänä vuonna on nähty laajaa vuorovaikutusta Intian ja Suomen välillä. Pääministeri Orpo itse vieraili Intiassa AI Impact Summit -tapahtumassa. Tämänpäiväisen tapaamisemme tavoitteena on antaa uutta energiaa kahdenvälisiin suhteisiin. Keskustelimme yhteistyöstä tulevaisuuden aloilla, kuten 6G, tekoäly, koulutus ja ydinenergia. Puhuimme myös siitä, miten syventää yhteistyötä muun muassa ilmastonmuutoksen, kiertotalouden ja kestävän kehityksen saralla.
