The warm encounter left a lasting impression on the community, with many feeling proud and honoured to have met the Prime Minister.

After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a member of the Indian diaspora says, "We are very happy after meeting PM Modi. He shook hands with us. We are from Punjab, and we work here in Croatia."

While I appreciate the PM's outreach, I hope such visits translate into concrete benefits for Indians working abroad. Many face visa/work permit issues. Maybe next time include discussions on easing these challenges?

Croatia is such a beautiful country! Glad our PM is strengthening ties there. Maybe this will boost tourism both ways. Indians should explore beyond usual European destinations. #IncredibleIndia

First Indian PM to visit Croatia - that's historic! Hope this leads to more student exchange programs and collaborations in IT sector. Croatia has good technical universities that Indian students can benefit from.
