Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday held a trilateral meeting with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Evian, underlining the growing momentum in India-European Union relations. The meeting comes at a significant moment for both sides, following the conclusion of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement and amid efforts to deepen strategic and economic cooperation. PM Modi’s engagement with the EU leadership also precedes his expected interaction with US President Donald Trump, a meeting that is attracting considerable international attention.
Following the meeting, Modi described his discussions with Costa and von der Leyen as productive and forward-looking. He recalled that India had hosted the two leaders during the Republic Day celebrations earlier this year, describing the period since then as a particularly important phase in India-EU relations.
The Prime Minister noted that the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement marked a major milestone and reflected the shared commitment of both sides to expanding economic engagement.
