The announcement was made Tuesday by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following a bilateral meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr, who is currently on a five-day state visit to India. The initiative is expected to encourage greater people-to-people exchanges, complementing the planned resumption of direct flights between India and the Philippines in October 2025.
