A road map for India-EU ties

The Hindu  

While India celebrates its 75th year of Independence, it also celebrates 60 years of diplomatic relations with the European Union. The 15th India-EU Summit, in July 2020, provided a common road map to guide joint action and further strengthen the partnership over the next five years. The road map highlights engagement across five domains: foreign policy and security cooperation; trade and economy; sustainable modernisation partnership; global governance; and people-to-people relations. India’s reluctance to explicitly condemn Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, and the country’s increasing economic cooperation with Russia, has been one area of disagreement. India’s economic, political and demographic weight could be deftly leveraged by the EU to counterbalance China’s influence across the region.
