The European Commission President, Ursula Von der Leyen, will visit India on April 24-25, said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

This will be her first visit to India as President of the European Commission, according to the MEA. The European Commission President will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during her visit.

She will also have the opportunity to meet President Ram Nath Kovind and other dignitaries. The President of the European Commission has been invited as this year's Raisina Dialogue's Chief Guest and will speak during the opening session on April 25. The MEA statement read, "India and the European Union share a vibrant Strategic Partnership that has been witnessing strong growth with wider and deeper cooperation in Political and Strategic, Trade and Commerce, Climate and Sustainability, Digital and Technology aspects, as well as people-to-people ties."

With the decision to resume trade talks and the inauguration of the India-EU Connectivity Partnership, the India-EU Leaders' Meeting in May 2021 set new benchmarks. The President of the European Commission's upcoming visit will provide an opportunity to assess progress and strengthen the multidimensional collaboration with the European Union.
