PM Modi's Visit To Greece
Following his three-day visit to South Africa to attend the 15th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reached the ancient city of Athens in Greece. PM visited the European country on the invitation of his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis, marking it as a first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 40 years. During his visit, Modi will meet Greece President Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
“Contacts between our two civilizations stretch back over two millennia. In modern times, our ties have been strengthened by shared values of democracy, rule of law and pluralism. Cooperation in diverse sectors such as trade and investment, defence, and cultural and people-to-people contacts have been bringing our two countries closer,” Modi said in his departure statement on Tuesday.
“I look forward to my visit to Greece opening a new chapter in our multifacted relationship,” he added.
India’s Ambassador to Greece, Rudrendra Tandon also looked forward to Modi’s visit saying it will give a new “impetus” to their close bilateral relationship.
"I cannot pre-judge the discussions between the two prime ministers, but certainly the fact that this visit is taking place is the result of a thinking at the highest political levels to bring a new lens to an otherwise very good relationship,” Tandon told PTI in an interview.
Sharad Pawar To Hold Rally In Kolhapur
Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Friday will hold a public rally in Maharashtra's Kolhapur, a week ahead of the meeting of Opposition's INDIA alliance in Mumbai, reported PTI. The NCP patriarch has been holding rallies in different parts of the state after his nephew, Ajit Pawar turned rebel against the party, resulting in a vertical solit, and joined hands with the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party government last month, swearing-in as the Deputy Chief Minister. On August 17, the senior Pawar held a rally in Beed district, the home turf of NCP (Ajit Pawar group) leader and cabinet minister Dhananjay Munde.
Speaking to reporters in Mumbai, NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase said, “Sharad Pawar will address his next public rally in Kolhapur on Friday (August 25). He will also address rallies in Jalgaon and Pune districts.” He, however, did not provide the dates for rallies in Jalgaon and Pune districts.
