India-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC)

The India-EU Trade and Technology Council is a high-level bilateral coordination mechanism, the first of its kind established by India with any partner. It was announced by Prime Minister Modi and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on 25 April 2022, formally launched on 6 February 2023, with its first ministerial meeting held in May 2023.
