    Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Germany, Denmark, and France from Monday (May 2) to Wednesday (May 4). He is expected to meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and newly re-elected French President Emmanuel Macron during his three-day Europe tour, packed with 25 back-to-back high-level meetings, totaling 65 hours. During his visit, Modi will have bilateral and multilateral engagements with eight foreign leaders.

    Why does this story matter?

    The prime minister's upcoming visit is significant in many ways as it comes amid a rift between Europe and India's long-time ally Russia over the Ukraine war. The European countries will also seek to improve diplomatic ties and trade opportunities with India. Meanwhile, issues pertaining to post-pandemic economic recovery, climate change, innovations, and global security top agenda of PM Modi's meetings during the visit.

    Interaction with 50 global business leaders on the cards

Besides, he is scheduled to interact with 50 international business leaders. The prime minister is also expected to interact with members of the Indian diaspora. PM Modi will be spending one night each in Germany and Denmark and two nights in flight.

    France visit set to reinforce Indo-French ties

    In France, PM Modi will hold a meeting with President Macron, who recently got re-elected to the top post. It will be Modi's fourth visit to India's "friendly companion" France since 2015. Notably, France was the only Western nation that didn't condemn New Delhi's nuclear tests in the 1990s. It had also backed India's bid for permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council.

    India to improve mutual understanding with key partner Germany

    In Germany, PM Modi will meet recently elected Chancellor Scholz in Berlin, with India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC) being the main agenda. This visit will provide a chance for the two governments to exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual concern. To note, India and Germany celebrated 70 years of diplomatic ties last year and both nations have been strategic partners since 2000.

    Modi to attend 2nd India-Nordic Summit in Copenhagen
