India, Sweden, seal strategic partnership deal
Sweden and India announced a strategic partnership deal Sunday aimed at doubling their trade and investment over the next five years, as Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson India's Narendra Modi met.
The new deal comes against the background of the free trade agreement that India and the European Union signed in January, said Kristersson, at a news conference attended by Modi and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen.
"We have a joint ambition to double our bilateral trade and investments within five years with current speed," he said.
"I actually believe it could become reality even sooner."
