  "account": "Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever at Hyderabad House in the nation's capital on Thursday. The leaders were in attendance to discuss strengthening bilateral ties and expanding strategic cooperation between the two countries.\n\nDe Wever paid his respects at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat, where he laid a wreath and offered flowers. Following the tribute, the Belgian Prime Minister signed the guestbook at the site.\n\nThis visit marks the first time a Belgian Prime Minister has visited India in two decades, and De Wever is accompanied by Belgium's Minister of Defence and Foreign Trade, Theo Francken, along with a delegation of high-level officials and business leaders. The visit comes amid growing momentum in India-Belgium relations, which was bolstered by a Belgian Economic Mission to India in March 2025 that resulted in 38 Memorandums of Understanding.\n\nDuring the meeting, Belgian Defence Minister Francken praised India's technological advancements and expressed a desire to deepen the partnership with India. This visit is expected to further enhance cooperation between India and Belgium, particularly in the defense industry sector, as well as contribute to broader India-EU and India-Europe engagement.",
