Ambassador Pranay Verma met Minister of Mobility, Public Works, Ports, and Sports in the Government of Flanders, @AnnickDeRidder and discussed the emerging opportunities for collaboration in the transport and logistics sector between India and the Flanders region of Belgium, with particular emphasis on port connectivity. The Port of Antwerp-Burges is an important gateway for India's trade with Europe and has a promising role to play in the context of the India-EU FTA as well as for a potential India-Europe Green Hydrogen corridor.
