The European Commission, along with EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, unveiled “A New Strategic EU–India Agenda” in Brussels to strengthen EU–India cooperation across trade, technology, defence, and climate. The initiative aims to elevate India–EU relations while addressing concerns over India’s military exercises with Russia and oil imports from Moscow. It aligns with ongoing FTA negotiations, the EU’s interest in a rules-based international order, and the growing trade volume between the two regions, which has increased nearly 90% over the last decade. The agenda also focuses on climate, technology, and strategic autonomy, balancing economic and geopolitical priorities for both India and the EU.
