The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Sweden last week for trade talks.
A Nordic-Indian summit took place with the leaders of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Modi and Löfven, the Prime Minister of Sweden.
Sweden has been courting India recently, supporting Modi’s “Make-in-India” manufacturing summit with Löfven leading a delegation of Swedish industry leaders to the launch event in 2016.
India is also an increasingly important market for Sweden, as more than 160 Swedish companies are now established in the country, including Ikea and H&M.
