In Indonesia, Modi’s activities will be primarily based in Jakarta. He will also visit Yogyakarta to explore the Prambanan Temple complex.
The MEA noted that India and Indonesia will engage in conservation efforts at the temple as part of their cultural collaboration.

The agenda is anticipated to cover critical minerals, cybersecurity, supply chain resilience, emerging technologies, and other facets of bilateral cooperation.
New Zealand Visit Following FTA
On July 11, Modi will head to New Zealand for discussions with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, marking the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to New Zealand in 40 years.
Prior to this visit, Luxon expressed his excitement in a post on X, stating he was “delighted” to host Modi during his inaugural official visit to New Zealand.
He emphasized that India is among the world’s largest economies and highlighted the progress of the two countries’ relationship through the New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signed in April.

Luxon indicated that the agreement will enhance opportunities for exporting goods and services to India, thereby supporting jobs and economic activity in New Zealand.
This visit follows the signing of the India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement in April, after nine months of negotiations.
The agreement outlines tariff elimination on Indian exports to New Zealand and includes provisions for investment, services, digital trade, and government procurement, as well as measures for small businesses and women-led enterprises.
Both nations have stated that the agreement aims to boost bilateral trade and investment while reinforcing economic cooperation.
