During her visit, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to engage in delegation-level discussions with President von der Leyen. The second ministerial meeting of the India-EU Trade and Technology Council, along with bilateral meetings between European Commissioners and their Indian counterparts, will also take place, according to the MEA.
This visit marks President von der Leyen’s third trip to India. She previously visited for an official meeting in April 2022 and attended the G20 Leaders’ Summit in September 2023. The MEA noted that the Prime Minister and President von der Leyen have consistently met at various multilateral gatherings.
This visit will be the inaugural joint trip of the EU College of Commissioners to India and one of the first official visits since the current European Commission commenced its mandate in December 2024, following the European parliamentary elections in June 2024.
Since becoming strategic partners in 2004, India and the European Union have significantly strengthened their bilateral relations across a diverse range of sectors. “As both sides enter the third decade of their strategic partnership, the visit of President von der Leyen and the EU College of Commissioners is expected to greatly enhance and solidify these relations, driven by increasing mutual interests,” the MEA statement concluded.

One Year On: Pahalgam Attack Still Haunts the Nation
