The European Union has unveiled a new agenda to boost its strategic partnership with India.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas outlined plans for closer cooperation in trade, technology, security, defence, and climate.
Brussels views India as a crucial partner in strengthening global supply chains and promoting sustainable development.
Trade and investment remain central to the upgraded ties, with efforts to enhance market access and digital innovation.
Climate action and clean energy are also at the heart of the EU-India partnership.
However, concerns persist in Brussels over India’s military exercises with Russia.
New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil is also seen as a challenge to closer alignment.
Despite these differences, both sides remain committed to advancing their partnership.
The EU believes deeper ties with India will boost regional and global stability.
The new agenda reflects Brussels’ long-term goal of positioning India as a key strategic ally.
