It was reported that Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa will visit India on 19-20 December. He was invited by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend the second meeting of the Organizing Committee of the function organized on the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, which is to be held on 19 December 2019. The meeting of the organizing committee will be chaired by the President of India.
Costa will hold official talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 19 December.

Let us know that Costa's current visit to India is his first bilateral visit outside Europe after being re-elected as Prime Minister on October 6, 2019.
High level political exchanges between India and Portugal have given a strong impetus to bilateral relations, covering many new areas such as science and technology, defense, startups, shipping, youth exchanges and culture. The Ministry of External Affairs said the visit would provide another opportunity for the leaders to review the entire gamut of bilateral relations and build closer cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
