In an exclusive interview with ANI, Bettel said, “I can confirm you cannot choose your neighbours, but you can choose your friends. And India and Luxembourg have trusted relations, honest relations.”<\/p>\n
Recalling his interactions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his tenure as Luxembourg’s Prime Minister (2013\u20132023), Bettel said, “I remember when I was Prime Minister, the good contacts I had with Prime Minister Modi.”<\/p>\n
Bettel, on relations with India, further said, “I love the Indian efficiency. The relations are good. The exchanges are good. We discussed international topics, but as you can guess, what we discuss stays between us.”<\/p>\n
Highlighting the importance of the relationship, Bettel added, “As I told you, you can choose your friends and partners, and I am happy that we both have these good relations.”<\/p>\n
His remarks came following his meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar at Hyderabad House in the national capital.<\/p>\n
Jaishankar lauded the robust partnership between India and Luxembourg, describing their engagement as a “very trusted relationship” with substantial potential for supply chain resilience and economic diversification.<\/p>\n
Welcoming Bettel to New Delhi, EAM Jaishankar noted that the visit underscores the deepening bilateral ties between the two nations. He also expressed gratitude for Luxembourg’s backing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union (EU).<\/p>\n
The remarks come as Bettel is on a three-day official visit to India, from September 7 to September 9. (ANI)<\/p>\n
