PM Modi calls off three-nation Europe tour amid India-Pakistan tensions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled three-nation tour to Europe from May 13 to 17 has been called off in light of the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

Modi was set to visit Croatia, Norway, and the Netherlands, with his itinerary including participation in the Nordic Summit in Norway. However, given the current security and geopolitical situation following India's recent military strikes under Operation Sindoor, the tour has been postponed.

“The visit has been called off. The respective governments have been duly informed,” reported PTI, citing sources.

The decision comes in the wake of heightened tensions along the Line of Control (LoC) after India’s targeted strikes on terror infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The cross-border operation was conducted in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including tourists.
