Summary
Host Tushar Shetty sat down with Dr. Tobias Scholz, South Asia researcher at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) in Berlin, to examine the rise of India-EU relations and the significance of their soon-to-be-signed FTA and Security & Defense partnership. They discuss how both U.S. partners, facing President Trump’s hostile and erratic foreign policy actions, accelerated their long-awaited FTA, the reexamination within Europe about its dependence on the United States and its role in the world, and how India and the EU handled tricky negotiations and overcame mutual disagreements to sign “the Mother of all Deals.” To find out more about the upcoming ISA-SAWP Conference, you can reach out to [email protected] or go to https://www.isanet.org/Conferences/SAWP-Colombo-2026/Call
