The tour aims to deepen India’s strategic, economic and cultural partnerships with the three countries.
The three-nation visit reflects India’s growing diplomatic outreach in the Indo-Pacific and underscores its commitment to strengthening partnerships that promote regional peace, sustainable development and shared prosperity.
