PM Modi Hails New Chapter In India-EU Ties
Addressing a joint press conference With European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa, PM Modi said, "It is a pleasure to welcome my two close friends, President Costa and President von der Leyen, on this unprecedented visit to India. Mr. Costa is known as the "Gandhi of Lisbon" for his simple lifestyle and his love for society. And Ursula Von Der Leyen is not only Germany's first woman Defence Minister, but has also become the first woman President of the European Union Commission, setting an example for the entire world. Yesterday was a historic moment when, for the first time, European Union leaders participated as chief guests in India's Republic Day celebrations. Today is another historic occasion."
