New Delhi, Jan 10: India is expected to witness a flurry of visits by top foreign leaders including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the next few months amid mounting global concerns over adverse impact of the Ukraine conflict on food and energy security.
The primary focus of these visits are expected to be on expansion of bilateral cooperation in areas of energy, trade, technology, defence production, health-care and people-to-people exchanges, people familiar with the preparations for the visits told PTI.
A front-burner issue in the talks is set to be the conflict in Ukraine and its global implications including on food and energy security, they said.
While Chancellor Scholz is expected to be in India later next month, Albanese is set to visit the country in early part of March, the people said.
The French side was initially exploring the visit by Macron in the first week of March but nothing has been firmed up yet, they said, adding the trip may even be advanced or could be pushed back. (PTI)
