The Netherlands and Denmark are expected to work together with India to develop green transition schemes. While Germany is India’s most strategic European partner, with trade between the countries surpassing $30 billion.
The Indian EAM is also expected to brief the three nations on Operation Sindoor, which the Indian Armed Forces launched in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26. In the operation, India targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Following Indian strikes, Pakistan launched missiles and drones targeting Indian cities, which were intercepted by Indian defence systems. The two nations reached an understanding to stop military actions on May 10 after four days of tensions.
