India and Greece agreed to infuse new energy in the bilateral relationship by working towards pacts on co-production of military hardware and mobility and migration during talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his visiting Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis here on Monday. Speaking on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) in which the Greek port of Piraeus will play a crucial role, PM Modi said, “Greece can also become an important partner in this initiative.”

Launched on the margins of the G20 summit in India last year, IMEC is positioning itself as an initiative by like-minded nations to gain strategic influence against the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

In his press statement, PM Modi said the two leaders had a detailed discussion on how to further strengthen cooperation in the fight against terrorism on which both two sides have common concerns and priorities.
