India Strengthens Defence and Strategic Partnerships with Europe Amid Global Security Shifts

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent European tour, India advanced strategic partnerships with countries including Italy, the Netherlands, and Norway, focusing on defence, technology, and energy. India signed key agreements such as the India-Italy Defence Industrial Roadmap and the India-EU Security and Defence Partnership, aiming to diversify defence ties beyond Russia. These moves reflect India's shift from non-alignment to multi-alignment, balancing relations amid evolving global security dynamics influenced by the Ukraine conflict and changing US commitments.
