PM Modi heads to Croatia after Canada visit; first-ever Indian PM to visit Balkan nation - what's on agenda
Wednesday, 18 June 2025 Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embarked on a historic visit to Croatia, marking the first time an Indian Prime Minister has visited the Balkan nation. Following his Canada visit, Modi is scheduled to meet with Croatian President Zoran Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic to bolster bilateral ties.
India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.
