European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted India’s deep and lasting influence on global knowledge, culture, and European thought while reflecting on the shared intellectual heritage between India and Europe. She traced this connection from the earliest discoveries by Indian astronomers to the contributions of Indian mathematicians who played a role in shaping Europe’s intellectual awakening during the Enlightenment.
Von der Leyen also referenced Rabindranath Tagore, describing how his poetry continues to resonate across borders and cultures. She noted that Tagore’s words live on in everyday life when India’s national anthem is sung, symbolising the enduring power of Indian ideas and artistic expression.
Her remarks went beyond diplomacy, underscoring the civilisational depth that underpins modern India-Europe relations. By acknowledging India’s contributions to science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy, she highlighted how cultural and intellectual exchange has long connected the two regions.
The statement reflects a broader recognition of India’s soft power on the global stage and the role of shared history in shaping contemporary partnerships. As India and the European Union deepen cooperation across trade, technology, and geopolitics, these cultural ties serve as a strong foundation for mutual respect and collaboration.
