#India
’s shift away from its traditional reliance on Russian arms can be attributed to 3 main reasons: the "China factor”, a drive for self-reliance, and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The EU and
#India
🇪🇺🇮🇳 just launched a Trade and Technology Council (TTC) to strengthen their partnership.
@RaquelJorgeR
and I analyze the TTC's potential impact on the EU's ambitions in the political, economic and tech spheres.
A thread 🧵
As some of you already know, I have just joined both
@rielcano
's and
@CSDS_Brussels
's teams in
#Brussels
where I will have the opportunity to contribute to the missions and activities of such institutions, alongside some of the best researchers in Europe. Very grateful indeed.
This reading was long overdue. Particularly enjoyed the chapters on Sino-Indian relations and the dogmas that have long shaped 🇮🇳 foreign policy.
“Today,
#India
has both the ability to work confidently with the West when required and differ with it when its interests so demand”
In my latest article for
@chinaobservers
, I argue that the growing influence of the 🇨🇳 'China factor' in Indian foreign policy is a potential game-changer for EU-India economic and security ties.

Here goes a short thread with some highlights 🧵
I was reading a press release from India's MEA about the bilateral meeting between
#Melodi
during the G7 Summit, and it mentioned that an ICCR Chair for
#India
Studies will be established at the University of Milan.
We need more of them in Europe 🇪🇺 🇮🇳
‘No compris en castellà’
Esto viene de las juventudes de un partido de ‘izquierdas’ catalán. El acto en sí es una vergüenza, pero lo que es aún peor es la normalización de un discurso de odio por parte del resto de actores políticos.
Ya es hora de desmontar el nacionalismo.
🛍️ AQUEST NADAL PENSA QUAN COMPRIS‼️ Com cada any el consumisme capitalista ens incentiva a comprar contra el català i l'entorn, amb estereotips i explotació. Pengem pancartes per Lleida per conscienciar-nos del que suposa. Bones festes i pròspera misèria!✊

La mateixa resposta que vau donar els mesos de setembre i d'octubre de 2017? Per cert, si encara no ho sabies, el TEDH va deixar-vos en evidència en tant que els drets de les catalanes i dels catalans que no volen l'independència van ser sistemàticament vulnerats.
Reading this piece left me appalled.
I had no prior knowledge of the genocide committed by Pakistan during the Liberation War of Bangladesh, particularly against the Birangona women, whose stories had been largely erased from history.

I perquè no dius res de la sentència del TEDH sobre com l'independentisme va ignorar els drets de la minoria a Catalunya durant els mesos de setembre i octubre de 2017? Perquè no parles d'això? Et fa vergonya? A mí em sembl molt hipòcrita per part seva.

on
#India
's G20 Presidency, upcoming EU-India summit and good momentum in our bilateral relations.
In addition, we focused on Russia’s war against Ukraine as well as on Myanmar and Afghanistan.
Governments may talk about the power of the youth, but it is mostly without their presence or involvement in the conversation. Even more egregious is the lack of female representation from key US think tanks at this meeting, as if such representation were non-existent!
#India
Met a group of people associated with key think tanks. We talked about different aspects of policy making and the emerging global trends. Emphasised on the positive changes in India and how they are being powered by our youth.

EU-India relations have been steady and positive, with the 1st Ministerial meeting of their Trade and Technology Council driving the two sides to further cooperation.
Economic security is key in this context, for both the EU and

This passed through pretty unnoticed: here we have a Spanish parliamentarian delegation made of 5 members from "Partido Popular" (center-right party) and 1 member of "VOX" (mostly right-wing to far-right, depending on who you ask but definitely harsher than PP in many policies).

Mamma mia. Providing such a platform (

Modi’s assertion that “today’s era is not of war” becomes even more questionable now.
"In an era of strongman politics and aggressive great-power nationalism, the Indonesian leader’s modesty and multilateralism make a refreshing change. It would be good if some of that spirit rubbed off on the other leaders at the G20."
