EU's top team in India to bolster relations

The EU's top team arrived in India on an "unprecedented" visit Thursday, aiming to broaden commercial and diplomatic ties. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and her college of commissioners are to hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government in New Delhi during the two-day trip. India has long pushed the EU for higher investments, co-ventures with local partners and more streamlined migration for its skilled workforce of IT professionals, engineers and healthcare workers.
