Sweden's Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch has underlined her country's deepening partnership with India across artificial intelligence, innovation, trade, and geopolitics, describing New Delhi as a "chosen partner" for Europe in an era of global uncertainty. Speaking exclusively to NDTV on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit, Busch praised India's leadership in hosting the first global AI summit in the Global South and said the newly concluded India-European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was about "far more than trade." Busch, who arrived in New Delhi hours before the interview, said her participation in the summit was a "given," highlighting India's growing influence in shaping the global AI discourse.
