00:05President, thank you so much for joining us.
00:10On this special day, in a way, for the European Union, you've set fire.
00:15And finally, you've got this mother of all trade deals.
00:18What does that mean?
00:19Well, that means that we have
00:20creating a market for 2 billion people.
00:24It's...
00:25It's a huge, it's the largest trade agreement ever.
00:30signed by the European Union or India.
00:33And of course, that means that you expect
00:35trade to now almost practically double.
00:38And you also say tariffs will come down almost...
00:40to 96% of all European exports.
00:43When do you hope to see this agreement?
00:45implemented.
00:46As soon as possible.
00:48And this is very important for...
00:50both European and Indian economy, but also for the global economy.
00:55Because...
00:55Because together we represent a quarter of the whole GDP.
01:00That means that if we boost our economies,
01:02we are boosting the global economy.
01:05and we saw in the 72 hours that we were here, the...
01:10Indian authorities and the Prime Minister Modi,
01:12he really rolled out the red carpet for you, for the...
01:15as the head of the commission.
01:16You were at this military parade.
01:17I wonder if you could just give us a behind the scenes.
01:20of how this trip felt for you?
01:23Well, this trip has two parts.
01:25The first of all, very nice, very kindly.
01:30and it was the President von der Leyen and me.
01:35We are the chief guests of the celebration of the Republic Day.
01:40The great celebration of India.
01:42And we had the...
01:45of India is present in this huge parade.
01:47When the...
01:48India shows...
01:49Not only...
01:50their military capabilities,
01:52but also...
01:53their...
01:54their...
01:55cultural diversity
01:56and the skills and the talent of the people on culture.
02:00and the second part was the summit.
02:02Where we approved not only the free and trade agreement.
02:05but also...
02:06we signed...
02:07and security and defence...
02:08partnership...
02:09and the...
02:10and the...
02:11strategic agenda
02:12for the next five years.
02:14And...
02:15this...
02:16shows...
02:17that...
02:18it's possible...
02:19in this...
02:20very...
02:20in certain...
02:21world...
02:22that...
02:23provide...
02:24but...
02:25respectability...
02:26when...
02:27reliable partners...
02:28agree...
02:29on trade...
02:30on security...
02:30on defence...
02:31on people-to-people contact.
02:33And is that your message ultimately with...
02:35for this trade deal.
02:36You say it's the mother of all trade deals...
02:37in a market that was very heavily protected.
02:39But I wonder...
02:40the real value is...
02:41sort of the optics around it...
02:42is to send this message that...
02:44when there's tariffs...
02:45all over the place...
02:46that's the value of a moment like this.
02:47No, we have...
02:48they have...
02:49great value.
02:50from the economic point of view.
02:52But...
02:53perhaps more important...
02:54is the message.
02:55that the two largest democracies in the world...
02:57are sending...
02:58to...
02:59the international...
03:00community...
03:01is that it's important...
03:02it's essential...
03:03to provide...
03:04predictability...
03:05to engage...
03:06on cooperation...

05:24The trade agreement with the United States is now in the European Parliament to be approved.
05:28And we are diversifying our trade relationships.
05:32And of course, when the WTO is not working very well.
05:37And when several economic...
05:42Global agents are disturbing the global trade.
05:47We need to stabilize the trade relationship.
05:52By trade agreements.
05:54And this is what we are doing.
05:56And I think it's very important.
05:57Not only for Europe, but also for the global economy.
06:00And I want to pick up a moment in the...
06:02press conference in which you showed a passport.
06:05And I was watching the Indian television.
06:07And this moment was really shown with the documenting you mentioned in your...
06:12origins.
06:13This really went down well.
06:14I wonder, however, is that part of a strategy to say...
06:17While some other countries, namely the United States, talk about weakness and decaying countries.
06:22and civilization and erasure.
06:23Perhaps when you're nice, it pays off.
06:25It's better.
06:26No.
06:27We have a vision, again, that in these multi-polar worlds, we need...
06:32to engage with the different countries, with different cultures, with different languages, with...
06:37and different traditions.
06:38Last year, I co-shared with President von der Leyen...
06:42and more than, I think, 11 summits around the world.
06:47with African Union, with the community of Latin American Caribbean, with...
06:52with Central Asia countries, with China, with Japan, with South Africa.
06:57with Western Balkans, with...
06:59around the world.
07:00And it is our way...
07:02to...
07:03is our way of life in the world.
07:04is engaging...
07:05with partners...
07:06and to...
07:07to build...
07:08reliable relationships.
07:09And would you say, however, don't mistake politeness...
07:12for weakness.
07:13Some who look at this, very polite European Union...
07:17it means it's also weak European Union.
07:19Would you say, don't make that, because that would be a mistake?
07:22Yes, I don't enter in this game of words.
07:25We focus on the reality.
07:27And our reality is very simple.
07:29We are one of the largest...
07:32economies in the world, one of the largest democracies in the world.
07:36And we have...
07:37and we have a lot of friends around the world.
07:40Friends, partners...
07:42allies...
07:43and we work with...
07:44everybody.
07:45And do you get an impression that now these friends...
07:47and allies across the world are reaching out to you?
07:49Or is it the European Union reaching out to them?
07:51Because now you...
07:52you really need them.
07:53Is it mutual?
07:54Or is there also an understanding that they want the European Union?
07:57I think everybody understood that both the North...
08:02and the South are more plural than was perceived.
08:07some years ago.
08:08And everybody is understanding that we need to engage...
08:12with each other.
08:13To have a peaceful, stable world.
08:17on peace and security, but also on economy.
08:20And on the security now.
08:22of course with India and the European Union.
08:24That's the elephant in the room.
08:25There's been the sticking point of...
08:27of the war in Ukraine.
08:28The EU has said multiple times that they would like to see India...
08:32as a form of leverage on Russia and have more meaningful language...
08:36condemning the war.
08:37And was that an issue during your visit here?
08:39Did you bring that up and say...
08:40you need to help us put an end to it?
08:42We talk, of course, about Ukraine and the war in Ukraine.
08:47with Prime Minister Modi.
08:48But as I said in my press conference, I believe that...
08:52that we can count on Prime Minister Modi.
08:54You believe that?
08:55Yes, I believe that we can count.
08:57on Prime Minister Modi to push for peace through...
09:02dialogue and diplomacy.
09:03And I just want to...
09:05finally on this point...
09:07Greenland obviously last week was a very tense moment...
09:09for the European Union.
09:10The United States backed up a lot.
09:12on Prime Minister Modi.
09:13There were no tariffs.
09:14What's the lesson that you take away from it?
09:15And do you believe this crisis really...
09:17is over now?
09:18I hope so.
09:19And was that a lesson, however?
09:22And when you're firm, they will back off?
09:25No, I think the main lesson...
09:27is...
09:28Everybody is concerned about the security of the...
09:32of the European Union.
09:33And the best way to address this...
09:35is on NATO frame.
09:37and working with the different Arctic countries...
09:41to ensure...
09:42a safe and security Arctic.
09:44And Deborah, I wonder if you could confirm...
09:46And Deborah, I wonder if you could confirm...
09:47to us, there is now talk that...
09:50in the retreat that you have called for leaders...
09:52to have a debate in February, so very soon...
09:54Mario Draghi will participate.
09:56Is that...
09:57going to be the case?
09:58Last year...
09:59we start the year in February...
10:01organizing...
10:02a retreat...
10:03on defense.
10:04And I invited the Secretary General of NATO...
10:07and also the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom...
10:10who is Tama.
10:11And it was...
10:12the pivotal moment...
10:13to improve...
10:14and focus...
10:15on...
10:16on our...
10:17agenda...
10:18on security...
