New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to travel to Europe from May 2 to May 6 to have bilateral meetings with re-elected French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz apart from addressing the key India-Nordic summit in Copenhagen.

India and France have very close political and defense relationships with both sides willing to assist each other in areas of critical and emerging technologies apart from having similar views on the Indo-Pacific.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated his “friend” Emmanuel Macron on being re-elected as the President of France. Emmanuel Macron comfortably won a second term on 24 April 2022.

With Russia continuing its Ukraine campaign relentlessly, the war in Europe will be on top of the agenda of PM Modi’s visit to Nordic countries, and Germany also thinking twice about its stance on Moscow. Germany in particular has been a huge trade partner to both Russia and China but the Ukraine war and the new Chancellor have made Bonn think about its national security.
