Modi-Putin meeting 'symbolic': Agreements 'predictable and along familiar lines' • FRANCE 24

Описание: While the announcements between India and Russia may appear symbolic, they reveal a deeper continuity in New Delhi’s long-standing realpolitik: using Moscow as both a counterweight to China and a hedge against fluctuating American policy. Economics, energy, migration, and defence cooperation unfold less as breakthroughs and more as incremental recalibrations shaped by global pressures, including US tariffs and shifting regional alignments. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, Erin Ogunkeye welcomes Aparna Pande, Research Fellow and Director of the India and South Asia Initiative at the Hudson Institute. She offers context and perspective on India’s characteristic non-alignment on conflicts like Ukraine, its structural reliance on China for trade despite deep mistrust, and its determination to signal diplomatic optionality in a world of unstable geopolitical headwinds.
