Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, who has expressed solidarity with India after the Pahalgam attack, condemned the terror attack once again.
“We have also discussed and expressed sorrow for the terrorist attack that happened in India, after which India had to react, and we also said that the global situation in terms of security is very volatile. So it is important to have the most influential actors worldwide give their contribution to peace… We have understood very well the Indian Prime Minister’s message on fighting against terrorism because that is the biggest threat to global stability,” he added.
Plenkovic shared that the two countries have agreed to cooperate in various areas, including economy and defense.
We have also agreed on future cooperation in all areas from the economy to defence…We want to strengthen cooperation in the defence industry, nuclear energy, shipbuilding, and information technology. As India is a global leader in the IT sector,” Plenkovic added.

“Croatia’s Indian community has contributed to Croatia’s progress and also remained in touch with their roots in India.

There is immense enthusiasm among the Indian community here about this visit and its impact in making the bond between our nations stronger than ever before!” he said in an X post.
