PM Modi's foreign visits always bring good results for India. The Cyprus visit is especially important - we need stronger ties with Mediterranean countries for trade and security. Hope we get more defense cooperation from this trip 🇮🇳

While I appreciate our PM representing India globally, I wish there was more focus on domestic issues too. Farmers are still protesting and inflation is high. International trips are important but our own house needs attention first.

First Indian PM visit to Croatia - this is historic! My nephew studies there and says Indians are respected. Hope this visit brings more educational exchange programs and easier visa processes for students.

The energy security discussions at G7 are timely. With rising oil prices, India needs to diversify its energy partners. Maybe we can get better deals from Canada for our oil imports? 🤞

Cyprus has many Indian students and professionals. Hope this visit improves their living conditions and work rights. Also expecting announcements about direct flights - traveling via Middle East is so expensive!
