India Navigates Strategic Autonomy Amid Global Partnerships and Trade Discussions

Analysed 16 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Politics
India Navigates Strategic Autonomy Amid Global Partnerships and Trade DiscussionsPreviousNext

India's strategic autonomy shapes its global relations, balancing ties with the US, China, Russia, and others amid evolving geopolitical dynamics. While India asserts itself as a rising big power rather than a middle power, challenges persist in technology, trade, and diplomacy. Recent shifts include India's openness to plurilateral WTO discussions after prior resistance, reflecting nuanced engagement with international frameworks. The US-India relationship faces strains over trade, security, and regional alignments, underscoring the complexity of India's multi-alignment strategy in a multipolar world.
