Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni congratulated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a historic achievement in space exploration.
“The successful lunar landing of Chandrayaan-3 at the South Pole of the moon is the realization of a great scientific, industrial and organizational commitment, but also of the dream of a national community and of the human will to always go further,” Meloni wrote on “X”.
She underlined that India‘s efforts to advance toward new frontiers in human knowledge will foster bilateral collaboration with Italian institutions that have extraordinary scientific expertise.
“I am delighted to be able to meet Prime Minister Modi again when I return to New Delhi in a few weeks on the occasion of the G20 Summit,” the Italian official concluded.
Last March, the two Prime Ministers held talks in New Delhi and called for expanding cooperation in defense, green energy, digital transition, cybersecurity, and space.
Meloni reaffirmed her desire to reboot defense ties with India.
On his part, Modi said there were ample opportunities in defense manufacturing and co-production, adding that the two countries will start joint military exercises and training courses for military personnel.
