President Ursula von der Leyen and 21 members of the EU College of Commissioners, or political leaders of the 27 member states, are traveling to India during 27-28 February for meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government.

The second ministerial meeting of the India-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC) will also be held during the visit.

PM Modi and President Von der Leyen are expected to review the negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA), which the two sides resumed in 2022 after a gap of almost a decade.

The two sides will also seek to advance cooperation in defence and security, including in the Indo-Pacific region, a senior EU official told a media briefing on Tuesday.
