Europe is front and center in India's diplomacy this week
India's got a packed European guest list right now—leaders from Germany, France, and Poland are all dropping by.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz lands on January 12 for his first-ever India visit, meeting PM Modi in Ahmedabad to celebrate 25 years of the India-Germany partnership.
Why should you care?
These visits aren't just about handshakes—they're part of a bigger push to lock down an India-EU free trade deal that's been years in the making.
With the EU summit coming up soon, France is sending top advisor Emmanuel Bonne to prep for President Macron's trip next month, while Poland's foreign minister is aiming to boost new trade and tech ties after last year's upgrade in relations.
All eyes are on how these talks could shape jobs, business opportunities, and global partnerships that impact young Indians directly.
