EU Chief Ursula to visit India on Feb 27-28
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will be on an official visit to India on February 27-28, at the invitation of PM Narendra Modi.
She will be accompanied by the European Union College of Commissioners.
This will be President Ursula von der Leyen’s third visit to India. She has earlier visited India for a bilateral official visit in April 2022, and to attend the G20 Leaders’ Summit in September 2023. Prime Minister Modi and President Ursula von der Leyen have also met regularly on the sidelines of multilateral meetings, a statement said. This will be the first ever visit of the EU College of Commissioners together to India, and among the first such visits since the start of the mandate of the current European Commission in December 2024 after the European parliamentary elections held in June 2024.
During the visit, Prime Minister Modi will hold delegation level talks with President Ursula von der Leyen. The second ministerial meeting of the India–EU Trade and Technology Council and bilateral ministerial meetings between the European Commissioners and their Indian counterparts will also be held during the visit. India and the European Union are strategic partners since 2004 and their bilateral ties have expanded and deepened across a wide range of areas. As the two sides enter the third decade of the strategic partnership, the visit of President von der Leyen and the EU College of Commissioners will pave the way for further strengthening of bilateral relations based on growing convergences, it said.
