 Europe and India marked a historic moment as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the conclusion of a landmark free trade agreement, describing it as the mother of all deals. 

The pact creates a massive free trade zone of nearly two billion people and is expected to significantly strengthen economic ties, investment flows, and strategic cooperation between the two sides.


Beyond the economic breakthrough, the moment carried powerful cultural symbolism. Standing alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ursula von der Leyen was draped in the traditional Assamese Gamosa, bringing Assam’s cultural identity into the global spotlight during one of the most important diplomatic announcements in recent times.


Von der Leyen said the agreement is only the beginning of a deeper strategic relationship between India and the European Union, with both sides set to benefit in areas such as trade, technology, sustainability, and global stability. The deal is being hailed as a defining step in reshaping global economic partnerships.


The presence of the Assamese Gamosa at such a high level international event highlighted the growing global footprint of Assam and its cultural heritage. It symbolised how the traditions of India’s Northeast are increasingly being recognised on the world stage, reinforcing the idea that India’s rise globally is deeply rooted in its diverse cultural identity.
