Overview
- India’s Narendra Modi and the Netherlands’ Rob Jetten held their first call Monday after Jetten took office last month, with Modi pressing for early peace and stability in West Asia.
- They set work on semiconductors, green hydrogen, mega water projects and talent mobility as near‑term priorities.
- Jetten described the talk as introductory and said he looks forward to hosting Modi in the Netherlands to advance the agenda.
- The outreach builds on an EU–India trade agreement concluded earlier this year that both sides say strengthens a broader strategic partnership.
- The discussion fits India’s wider contacts since February 28 to push de‑escalation in West Asia and keep the Strait of Hormuz open for energy shipments.
