News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s time, any big forum in the world seems incomplete without India’s presence there. We often hear that India’s reputation is increasing in the world, but when the head of a powerful region like Europe says that “India is our most important ally,” then the statement really adds weight.
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lane What he recently said on the relations between India and the European Union (EU) has proved that now the world is looking at India as a ‘powerhouse’. Let us understand in simple language what is the meaning of his words.
India: trusted partner
Ursula clearly said that India and the European Union are “natural partners”. This simply means that the thinking of both of us is very similar. Just as India is the world’s largest democracy, Europe also believes in democracy and freedom. In today’s world, where many countries are breaking the rules, the coming together of India and Europe is very important for stability.
Not just talk, partnership of work
This friendship is not limited to just shaking hands. Ursula von der Leyen’s emphasis was on the fact that now we have to work together. She was talking about three big areas:
- Trade: Europe wants to increase trade with India. We all know that talks are going on on Free Trade Agreement (FTA), through which Indian goods will be easily sold in Europe.
- Technology: Today’s era is digital. Europe wants to get India’s talent and technology, then great things can happen. For this, a special ‘Trade and Technology Council’ has also been formed.
- Climate Change: Pollution and climate change are the problems of the whole world. Europe believes that this battle cannot be won without India. Their full focus is on working together in solar energy and green hydrogen.
demand of time
If we look at this statement from the lens of geo-politics, it becomes even clearer. Amid the Russia-Ukraine war and China’s increasing interference, Europe is looking for a partner that is both strong and reliable. And India absolutely meets this criterion.
