External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar described the first V4-plus-India Foreign Ministers meeting as a “historic occasion”, according to the supplied report. The meeting brought India together with the Visegrad Group, known as the V4.
The group consists of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The V4 is described as a cultural and political alliance that aims to promote cooperation in military, economic, cultural and energy matters.
