The discussions are expected to focus on expanding partnerships in trade, investment, innovation, education, clean energy, technology and digital transformation, areas that both countries consider vital for future growth and competitiveness.
Mudavadi expressed optimism that the visit would pave the way for stronger bilateral ties, increased economic opportunities and new partnerships aimed at creating jobs, driving innovation and improving the livelihoods of citizens in both nations.
