Dutch PM cuts short India visit by a day
New Delhi, May 25 (IBNS): Dutch Prime minister Mark Rutte has cut short his India visit and is flying back home on Friday night, a day early, to discuss with the rest of the cabinet the new findings about the downing of flight MH17 over Ukraine in 2014, reports said.
On Thursday, the team in charge of the investigation had said that the Buk missile which hit the passenger plane had come from a unit of the Russian army stationed in Kursk.
Rutt arrived in Delhi on a two-day visit on Thursday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rutte held delegation-level talks to step up economic and political ties between the two countries.
On Thursday, India and the Netherlands on Thursday signed more than 50 pacts to deepen cooperation in areas like education, water and waste management, agriculture food processing, information technology and the development of smart cities.
The value of the deals was not known but this is said to be one of the largest rafts of pacts that India has signed with any country in recent times.
