In recent years, India has been making a concerted effort to establish close ties with nations in the Mediterranean Sea. After elevating its relations with Greece, New Delhi is now wooing Cyprus, which is strategically located in the region.
India and Cyprus agreed to establish a five-year road map to elevate their bilateral ties, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement following the meeting of the leaders of the countries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Nikos Christodoulides, in Nicosia on Monday.

"The two sides agreed to establish a five-year road map to strengthen cooperation in strategic areas. They also agreed to establish cyber and maritime security dialogues and a mechanism to have real-time exchange of information on terrorism, drugs and arms trafficking issues," the MEA's press release stated.

"The leaders appreciated the Bilateral Defence Cooperation Programme signed in January 2025, which would give concrete shape to the defense partnership between the two countries," the statement added.
Also, the two leaders welcomed the establishment of the India-Greece-Cyprus (IGC) Business and Investment Council to deepen economic engagement, the Ministry emphasised.
Besides, Modi and Christodoulides discussed enhancing air connectivity to strengthen business, tourism, knowledge, and innovation linkages.
