Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay an official visit to Germany, Denmark, and France from May 2-4. This will be the Prime Minister’s first visit abroad this year. Giving details of the Prime Minister’s visit, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in Berlin, Modi will hold bilateral talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the two leaders will co-chair the sixth edition of the India-Germany Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC).

The biennial IGC is a unique dialogue format that also sees the participation of several Ministers from India and Germany. This will be the Prime Minister’s first IGC with Chancellor Scholz, and also the first such Government-to-Government consultations of the new German government, which assumed office in December 2021. Modi and Scholz will also jointly address a business event. Prime Minister will address and interact with the Indian community in Germany.

Modi will thereafter travel to Copenhagen on an official visit at the invitation of the Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. He will also participate in the second India-Nordic Summit being hosted by Denmark. The bilateral component of the visit will include talks with Frederiksen as well as an audience with Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II. The Green Strategic Partnership was the first of its kind arrangement between India and Denmark. The visit would provide both sides an opportunity to review its progress, as well as examine ways to further expand our multifaceted cooperation. During the visit, Modi will attend an India-Denmark Business Forum and also address members of the Indian diaspora.

During the second India-Nordic Summit, the Prime Minister will also interact with other Nordic leaders – Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir of Iceland, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson of Sweden, and Prime Minister Sanna Marin of Finland. The Summit will focus on subjects like post-pandemic economic recovery, climate change, innovation and technology, renewable energy, the evolving global security scenario, and India-Nordic cooperation in the Arctic region. The first India-Nordic Summit took place in 2018 in Stockholm.

On his return journey on May 4, Modi will briefly stopover in Paris and meet French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently won elections by retaining power. He was recently elected for the second term as the President. India and France are celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations this year and the meeting between the two leaders will set a more ambitious agenda for the Strategic Partnership.
