Few, if any, Indian Prime Ministers have addressed football clubs. Narendra Modi will likely be the first when he speaks virtually at a summit co-hosted by Germany's Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, India's TV9 Network, and supported by the state of Baden-Württemberg.
To be held in Stuttgart at the iconic football stadium, MHP Arena, from November 21 to 23, the theme of the event is 'India-Germany: A road map to sustainable growth'. Along with Modi, others who are expected to address the summit include sportspersons, investors, climate change activists, political leaders, and German business and industry.
The event comes on the heels of a year of intensive and high-level engagement between Germany and India, leading many to wonder if New Delhi is looking for new partners in Europe, beyond its old friend France. The locus of political power in Paris shifted dramatically after elections in September, leading to the installation of a new centre-right coalition government beset with political and financial challenges. France continues to be among India's principal defence and security partners in Europe, but there is concern that the rights of religious and racial minorities in the country under the new dispensation could lead to a review of policies on migration and people mobility, a central issue in trade between France and India.
Ambassador Gurjit Singh, formerly India's ambassador to Germany, says there has been forward movement in defence ties with Germany.
