Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday night left for Berlin, Germany, as he kickstarts a crucial three-nation Europe visit where he is set to meet world leaders – German chancellor Olaf Scholz, Denmark prime minister Mette Frederiksen and French president Emmanuel Macron. Post-Covid economic recovery is one of the many agendas on the list with the prime minister set to attend several key events in Germany. The Ukraine war will also be in focus during the Europe visit, the government has said.
His meeting with Schlolz comes after the two leaders interacted last year at G20 when he was the finance minister. Germany has a “significant proportion” of the 1 million population of the Indian diaspora in Europe, a statement from the prime minister’s office on Sunday highlighted. “The Indian Diaspora is an important anchor in our relations with Europe and therefore I will take the opportunity of my visit to the continent to meet our brothers and sisters there,” he said.
