EU foreign policy chief Kallas issues a caution to India regarding collaboration with Russia - EU's top diplomat issues a caution to India over potential collaboration with Russia
The European Union (EU) finds itself in a complex situation due to the US tariffs imposed on Indian products, a consequence of India's oil purchases from Russia. The EU is eager to curtail Russia's economic revenues, but at the same time, it is seeking alternative trading partners, with India being a key contender.
As the EU looks towards India, the focus is not just on trade, but also on cooperation in various sectors. The EU hopes for closer ties with India in the realm of renewable energy and fuels, as well as semiconductors. This potential alliance could prove beneficial for both parties, as India boasts significant resources in renewable energy and semiconductor manufacturing.
However, one of the potential stumbling blocks in the proposed trade agreement is the possible recognition of Basmati rice as a protected Indian variety. This issue, among others, will likely be discussed during the upcoming summit between Brussels and New Delhi, scheduled for early next year.
While the specific details about the summit, such as its location and the focus areas of discussion, are not yet fully disclosed, it is clear that the EU and India are eager to explore opportunities for cooperation. The summit promises to be a significant step in strengthening the relationship between the two parties and potentially reshaping the global trade landscape.
Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops.
