Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make a crucial visit to Cyprus as part of his upcoming tour to Canada for the G7 summit. This visit, strategically coupled with a stop in Croatia, holds significant implications amidst the backdrop of strained relations between India and Turkey. Cyprus is a key member of the European Union and will hold the rotating presidency of the EU Council in 2026. This offers India an opportunity to strengthen ties and potentially influence EU discussions on important issues, including foreign policy and security. The visit is also seen as a strategic move, conveying a message to Turkey, which supported Pakistan during India’s Operation Sindoor. The visit to Cyprus follows its condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack, which indicates the strengthening of ties between India and Cyprus. PM Modi will attend the G7 session in Kananaskis, Alberta from June 15 to 17.
