en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently visited the iconic Dutch water engineering project, the Afsluitdijk, accompanied by Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof. The 32-kilometer-long dike serves the functions of flood protection and land reclamation, safeguarding large parts of the Netherlands from the North Sea while also enabling freshwater storage.

The visit focused on the similarities between the Afsluitdijk and India's "Kalpasar" project in the state of Gujarat. The Kalpasar project aims to build a freshwater reservoir across the Gulf of Khambhat, integrating tidal power generation, irrigation, and transportation infrastructure. Both sides welcomed the signing of a Letter of Intent on technical cooperation for the Kalpasar project between India's Ministry of Water Resources and the Netherlands' Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

The two leaders noted that the Netherlands' expertise in water engineering and India's large-scale implementation capacity create opportunities for a mutually beneficial partnership. The visit covered cooperation between the two countries on innovative water management solutions, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure.

India and the Netherlands stated that the visit reaffirmed the strategic partnership between the two nations in the water resources sector.
