New Delhi, Feb 28 (ANI): In Delhi, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen said, “…There is this need to deepen our connectivity links and our global partnerships. And here, there is a lot that Europe can learn from India. India has been a leading voice in bringing to the fore the concerns of many countries in the Global South. Addressing these issues becomes all the more important in a world where major powers are pulling away or even pulling at the seams of the international system… India can play a unique role as a bridge between the Global South and the rest of the world. Between the Indo-Pacific and Europe… The India-Middle East-Europe corridor launched here in New Delhi in 2023 during India’s G20 Presidency is a historic opportunity to bring this to life. It’s an amazing project. This can be a modern golden road – directly connecting India, the Arabian Gulf and Europe. With a rail link, that will make trade between India and Europe 40% faster. With an electricity cable and a clean hydrogen pipeline. And a high-speed data cable to link some of the most innovative digital ecosystems in the world. This corridor is much more than “just” a railway or a cable. It is a green and digital bridge across continents and civilisations…”
