Sushma Swaraj calls on European Commission president

External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj on Wednesday called on President of European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels.

"The two leaders exchanged views on progress made on the understandings reached during the last India-EU Summit in 2017. India and EU are strategic and natural partners with common values," the official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Raveesh Kumar tweeted.

Swaraj also met President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani here.

Two of the world's largest democracies held excellent discussions on enhancing cooperation across different sectors, including parliamentary exchanges, Kumar tweeted.

The external affairs minister arrived in Brussels on Wednesday on the last leg of her week-long four-nation tour.

EAM will hold wide ranging discussions with the EU leadership to strengthen India-EU strategic partnership and will meet her Belgian counterpart Didier Reynders to further solidify the bilateral ties.
