Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the social media platform X to share that he had met two of Europe's most senior leaders in Evian earlier in the day. The meeting brought him together with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, an encounter he described as a memorable one.
What the Prime Minister Said
In his post, Modi wrote that it was wonderful to meet Costa and von der Leyen.

According to the Prime Minister, this has turned out to be a great phase for relations between India and the EU.
The Link to Earlier This Year
Modi made a point of referring back to the start of the year. It was on that occasion that the two European leaders travelled to India and became part of the Republic Day proceedings. Building on that thread, the Prime Minister framed the Evian meeting as yet another chapter in this strengthening relationship.
India and the EU Drawing Closer
