Good to see our foreign policy focusing on technology and finance, not just politics. Luxembourg's expertise in financial services can help our banking sector modernize. Hope this leads to more job opportunities for Indian professionals in Europe.

While these high-level meetings are important, I hope the benefits trickle down to the common man. Sometimes these deals only help big corporations. We need to ensure SMEs and local startups also get access to these European markets and investments.

Stronger India-EU ties are beneficial for global stability. Luxembourg might be small, but its influence in EU financial policy is significant. This is a well-calculated diplomatic visit.
