President of Finland Alexander Stubb, who is on a state visit to India, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday and the two leaders decided to upgrade ties to strategic partnership on digitalisation and sustainability. Alexander Stubb: On a general level, my key takeaway is that India is thriving. And it’s been a great pleasure to engage in conversation with him and with Foreign Minister Jaishankar, with the President and the Vice President.

India is one of the few countries that can pretty much talk to everyone, in the Russia -Ukraine case, to both Ukraine and to Russia.
