India and the European Union have pledged to deepen their partnership through various strategic initiatives. Security and defence cooperation, renewable energy development, artificial intelligence collaboration, and connectivity projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor were discussed during the visit of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to India. The joint statement highlighted India's potential participation in EU projects like Permanent Structured Cooperation and negotiations for a Security of Information Agreement. The IMEC initiative, announced during the G20 Leaders’ Summit, aims to establish a sea-land connectivity network linking India with the Middle East and Europe to facilitate trade and counter China's Belt and Road Initiative. Additionally, plans for joint research on green hydrogen, offshore wind energy, battery recycling, and waste-to-hydrogen were outlined, with significant funding allocated. The partnership also includes engagements in space, trilateral cooperation projects in Africa and the Indo-Pacific, and collaborations in artificial intelligence. The meetings prioritized simplifying mobility and migration for India's workforce, facilitating economic growth. The visa regime changes, allowing multi-entry visas for frequent Indian travelers, further enhance bilateral relations. Overall, the partnership between India and the EU continues to strengthen, focusing on a wide range of strategic areas for mutual benefit and prosperity.
