India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reaffirmed its commitment to extraditing Mehul Choksi, accused in a major financial fraud, who has been detained in Belgium since April last year following India's extradition request. MEA Secretary Sibi George highlighted ongoing law enforcement cooperation between India and Belgium amid the Belgian Prime Minister's visit. Belgian courts have upheld Choksi's extradition, dismissing his legal challenges, and India continues to seek his return to face trial.
