SEOUL, October 28 (AJP) - Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez arrived in Vadodara, western India, on Monday for a state visit.

During the three-day visit, Sanchez and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold talks and jointly inaugurate the TATA Aircraft Complex in Vadodara, where C-295 military aircraft will be manufactured. The complex has been established by Tata Advanced Systems in collaboration with Airbus Spain.

The C-295 program includes a total of 56 aircraft, with 16 delivered directly from Airbus in Spain and the remaining 40 to be manufactured in India.

Sanchez and his delegation will also visit Mumbai to meet with leaders from trade, industry, academia and the film sector.

His visit marks the first by a Spanish prime minister in 18 years, with both countries maintaining a cooperative relationship since Modi’s visit to Spain in 2017.
