Good meeting with Dr S Jaishankar today.
At the EU-India Summit in January, we concluded our Free Trade Agreement – the mother of all deals – and signed a Security and Defence Partnership.
Now we are focused on efficient implementation, to deliver for the people of Europe and India as soon as possible.
We also discussed developments in the Middle East and in Ukraine. De-escalation, stability and energy security are our shared objectives.
: Ursula von der Leyen

Appreciate her insights on contemporary global developments.
