India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar described the first meeting between the Visegrad Group and India’s foreign ministers as a historic occasion. The V4 comprises the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, and seeks cooperation across military, economic, cultural and energy affairs.

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. The available material does not provide the date or location of the meeting, identify the other ministers who attended, or outline any decisions, agreements or joint statements produced during the discussions.

Jaishankar’s description establishes the significance he attached to the gathering. Beyond that characterization, the supplied information does not explain which issues were discussed or how India’s engagement with the four European countries may develop. The report therefore records the meeting’s stated importance and the composition and broad objectives of the Visegrad Group, without providing further details of its proceedings.
