PM Modi will travel to Copenhagen on Tuesday to meet with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Digital Desk:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, "There will be no winning side in this conflict; everyone will suffer." 

PM Modi added, "Oil prices are soaring due to the chaos caused by the Ukraine conflict; there is also a global shortage of food grains and fertilizers."

Further continuing his talk, he said, Every family around the globe has been affected, but the impact on developing and emerging countries will be significantly more severe. "The humanitarian consequences of this violence are profoundly concerning to India." 

"The use of violence should not change borders," Scholz stated, adding that "the inviolability and the sovereignty of nations must be widely respected." He went on to say that he has invited Modi to the G-7 conference in Germany in the last week of June.

Modi will go to Copenhagen on Tuesday to meet with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and attend the Second India-Nordic Summit with the prime leaders of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and Norway.

On Wednesday, PM Modi will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron. 

According to the French defense major Naval Group, it was announced it would be unable to participate in the P-75 India (P-75I) project, which will see six conventional submarines built in India for the Indian Navy.

Pm Modi will "exchange viewpoints" on the "Ukraine crisis" and enhance bilateral ties during his three-day, three-nation visit to Europe, according to recently appointed Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra. According to official sources, PM Modi's foreign trip will last roughly 65 hours and will include about two dozen engagements. He will meet with world leaders from seven countries, both bilaterally and multilaterally, as well as converse with  50 global business leaders.

Modi's visit demonstrates how important India's connections with Europe are. Europeans have long believed that the Modi government prioritizes other strategic partners such as the United States, Japan, and even Australia and the United Arab Emirates over Europe.
