During her visit to New Delhi, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU is considering a defense and security partnership with India. This potential partnership aligns with the EU's aim to strengthen economic ties through a free trade agreement, especially in light of possible US tariffs. Von der Leyen emphasized the necessity for cooperation over isolationism, viewing the relationship between Europe and India as a key partnership for the future, while also suggesting strategies to diversify supply chains and reduce dependence on China.
This world is fraught with danger. But I believe this modern version of great power competition is an opportunity for Europe and India to reimagine their partnership.
We both stand to lose from a world of spheres of influence and isolationism. And we both stand to gain from a world of cooperation and working together.
