'EU and India Are Personal For Me': Antonio Costa’s OCI Moment Makes PM Modi Laugh At FTA Summit

A light-hearted yet powerful moment stole the spotlight at the historic India-EU Free Trade Agreement summit when European Council President António Costa revealed his personal connection to India. Holding up his Overseas Citizen of India card, Costa said Europe and India were “personal” for him, proudly tracing his roots to Goa. The remark sparked laughter, applause and a warm reaction from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Beyond the moment, Costa said the conclusion of the India-EU FTA sends a clear message to the world that two of the largest democracies have chosen partnership over fragmentation. Modi echoed the sentiment, calling the pact a blueprint for shared prosperity. The summit also saw the signing of key agreements spanning trade, security, mobility, green hydrogen and digital cooperation, marking a decisive deepening of India-EU ties.
