Held a fruitful meeting with Mr. Christophe Hansen, European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food.
Building on the successful conclusion of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement, we discussed avenues to further deepen our agricultural partnership by strengthening resilient agri-food value chains, enhancing food security, supporting farmers & promoting sustainable growth. 🇮🇳🇪🇺
@CHansenEU
An outstanding performance by our youngsters!
Congratulations to the Indian contingent of Kanishk Jain, Riddhesh Anant Bendale, Rishit Garg, Shresth Suraiya and Svarit Joshi for winning Gold Medals at the 56th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) 2026 held in Bucaramanga, Colombia.
Their feat reflects yet another example of the limitless potential of our Yuva Shakti and their passion towards science and research. Equally commendable is the fact that in the last decade, our students have performed exceptionally well in the various editions of this platform.
Today marks a defining milestone in India-UK ties. 🇮🇳🤝🇬🇧
Under the dynamic leadership of Hon'ble PM @NarendraModi ji, the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Agreement on Social Security, have come into force, delivering zero-duty market access for nearly 99% of India's exports, covering almost 100% of trade value.
The #IndiaUKFTA creates unprecedented opportunities for our textiles, leather, gems & jewellery, engineering goods, marine products, chemicals, processed foods, MSMEs, farmers and manufacturers. It also opens new frontiers for our IT, professional, financial, education and business services sectors, while expanding mobility for Indian talent.
The Agreement on Social Security further strengthens this partnership by exempting Indian professionals on temporary assignments from double social security contributions for up to 5 years, enhancing the global competitiveness of our workforce.
I thank my friend and counterpart @PeterKyle, and both negotiating teams, for their commitment in bringing this transformational agreement to fruition. Together, we remain committed to building a resilient, innovation-driven partnership that will drive growth, investment and shared prosperity for generations to come.

Pleased to launch India’s campaign for the @UN Security Council 2028-29.
Underlined 🇮🇳’s approach rooted in SHANTI - Securing Holistic Advancement through Norms, Trust and Integrity.
We will prioritise :
➡️ Strengthening the Voice of Global South, and factoring its concerns on international peace & security. The Global South must play a greater role in determining our common future.
➡️ Advancing reformed multilateralism, making it democratic, representative and effective. India’s approach will be guided by dialogue, cooperation, and bridging differences.
➡️ A future-ready Peacekeeping, making it better equipped, technologically enabled, realistically mandated and focused on core objectives. Guided by the Women, Peace and Security agenda, we will always champion the role of women peacekeepers.
➡️ A human-centric vision of Artificial Intelligence anchored in inclusivity, security and public good. We are equally determined to counter its misuse and threats to international peace and security.
➡️ Promoting a free, open and rules-based maritime order in accordance with international law, especially UNCLOS. Maintaining safe and unimpeded flow of maritime commerce, combating piracy, safety of seafarers and promoting HADR missions will be our priority.
➡️ Countering terror financing through effective and sustained efforts. A transparent sanctions regime with objective and evidence based proposals for listing of terrorist groups is the need of the hour.
A reformed, representative and results-driven Security Council needs a voice of the Global South at the table.

A Spectacular Welcome For India!
The first visuals from PM @narendramodi’s Indonesia visit are simply breathtaking. Escorted by Indonesian Air Force fighter jets, received with great warmth by President @prabowo, and welcomed through vibrant cultural traditions, every moment reflects the deep respect and enduring friendship between India and Indonesia.

One of the most special moments during the inauguration of the CG Semi Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility in Sanand was the opportunity to interact with the youth who are working there. A large number of the workforce includes women. They hail from remote parts of India, many of them are from tribal backgrounds. But their remarkable spirit ensured that they learnt about semiconductors. They went for training and here they are, adding strength to India's semiconductor journey.
Proud of our Yuva Shakti!
➡️Indian Naval Sail Training Ship INS Sudarshini sailed into New York Port to represent India at the United States International Naval Review 250 and Sail4th 250 celebrations.
➡️During the spectacular Parade of Sail along the Hudson River, the iconic three-masted barque proudly flew the Indian Tricolour, celebrating India's rich maritime heritage and centuries-old seafaring traditions.
➡️The visit is part of the ship's 10-month transoceanic expedition, Lokayan 2026, which reflects the @indiannavy's commitment to strengthening maritime cooperation, building international goodwill and deepening engagement with partner navies.

Ethanol Blending in India
🔰#Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme has emerged as a key pillar of India's energy transition and biofuel strategy.
🔰It aims to improve energy security, support farmers, and reduce environmental impacts. The programme also promotes greater use of domestically produced renewable fuel.
🔰Under the EBP Programme, ethanol blending has increased from less than 1.5 percent in 2013-14 to 20 percent in 2025-26. India achieved the 20 percent blending target five years ahead of schedule.
🔰Production capacity expanded nearly fivefold from 421 crore litres in 2014 to about 2,000 crore litres in 2026. This expansion has reduced crude oil imports and saved valuable foreign exchange. It has also lowered greenhouse gas emissions and strengthened farmers' incomes through new market opportunities.
