GZERO Europe

Carl Bildt, former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Sweden, shares his perspective from London.

What was the significance of Indian Prime Minister Modi's tour in Europe?

I think it was important. There is an attempt to restart the relationship primarily between the European Union and India. Ursula von der Leyen was in Delhi and now Modi has been to Berlin. He has met all of the Nordic prime ministers. He was in Paris. There has been a restart of trade negotiations, always difficult with India. And there's been setting up the Trade and Technology Council between India and the EU. It could be something, remains to be seen.
