India-Sweden defence and security links

-

During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Sweden from 16 April, a number of defence and security cooperatio­n matters were reportedly discussed, with a strategic innovation partnershi­p plan announced. PM Modi had several meetings with his Swedish counterpar­t Stefan Lofven, the media reporting a “win-win” outcome, it being noted that defence and security cooperatio­n remained a “key pillar” in the bilateral ties. The Indian PM has invited top Swedish firms to invest in India which is “a very strategic market”. Although, there was no official word on Sweden’s interest in offering the Gripen multirole fighter to meet the Indian Air Force’s requiremen­t, this matter was reportedly part of the discussion­s.
