Kananaskis, Canada:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi held his first meeting with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, expressing gratitude for Mexico's support in India's counter-terrorism efforts.
During Tuesday's meeting, PM Modi congratulated President Sheinbaum on her landmark electoral victory that made her Mexico's first female president in two centuries.
"The Prime Minister conveyed his appreciation to President Sheinbaum for Mexico's solidarity in India's fight against terrorism," according to a statement from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Last month, India conducted precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the April 22 Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.
The leaders exchanged perspectives on critical global and regional challenges, with particular focus on priorities for the Global South.
"Had a very productive meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. Personally congratulated her on her historic electoral achievement as the first female Mexican President in two centuries," PM Modi shared on social media platform X.
"We both recognize significant potential for strengthening India-Mexico relations, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, semiconductors, critical minerals, healthcare and beyond. We also discussed ways to enhance people-to-people connections," he added.
The leaders highlighted the longstanding friendship between India and Mexico, agreeing to further expand bilateral relations in trade, investment, start-ups, innovation, science and technology, and the automotive sector, while promoting cultural exchanges.
Both leaders acknowledged the growing trade and investment cooperation between their nations.
"Opportunities in the pharmaceutical sector received significant attention, where India can contribute to supplying and producing affordable quality medicines and other pharmaceutical products, as well as in agricultural and holistic health practices," the MEA statement noted.
President Sheinbaum expressed admiration for India's advancements in technology, innovation, and digital public infrastructure, indicating interest in collaboration in these domains.
PM Modi suggested exploring partnerships in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and critical minerals.
The leaders also highlighted upcoming interactions between think-tanks from both countries and the vibrant cultural ties that will promote tourism between India and Mexico.
"Enhancing India-Mexico warm & historical relations. PM @narendramodi met President Dr @Claudiashein of Mexico during the 51st G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal posted on X.
"Both countries explored avenues to strengthen India-Mexico cooperation in trade, pharmaceuticals, science and technology, digital innovation while sharing perspectives on key global & regional issues, including Global South priorities," he added.
