EU to strengthen trade and technology ties to lure India from Russian sphere of influence

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen on Monday said a partnership with India will be a priority for the EU as she told New Delhi of a threat to its regional interests after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Ms Von der Leyen is the latest international leader to visit India in an attempt to lure the South Asian nation away from Russia’s influence with pledges of security, defence and energy co-operation.
