EAM Jaishankar to visit Netherlands, Denmark and Germany from Monday

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will embark on his three-nation tour on Monday, during which he is expected to highlight India’s fight against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism.

 

In the six-day trip from May 19 to 24, Jaishankar will visit the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany.

 

“During the visit, EAM will meet the leadership of the three countries and hold discussions with his counterparts on the entire gamut of bilateral relations and regional and global matters of mutual interest,” the external affairs ministry said in a statement.

 

The minister is also expected to brief his counterparts in these countries about India’s decision to Operation Sindoor following the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

 

The three countries had expressed solidarity to India after the Pahalgam attack in which 26 civilians, mostly tourists, were shot to death by terrorists in the scenic valley of Kashmir on April 22.

 

The visit comes at a time when India is actively bolstering its outreach to Europe, with an emphasis on trade, investment, digital cooperation, climate action, and shared security concerns, reported IANS.

 

In 2024, India and Denmark had signed a Mobility and Migration Partnership Agreement, facilitating a structured framework for Indian nationals to work in Denmark, particularly in the healthcare sector.

 

The diplomatic relations between India and the Netherlands are 75-years-old. The MEA noted that the two countries enjoy strong political, economic & commercial relations. Meanwhile, India and Germany have a strategic partnership.
