Will India’s growing diplomatic push make it a global power?

Описание: French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in India for a three-day visit aimed at strengthening bilateral, trade and defence ties with the South Asian country. Last week, India gave initial approval for the purchase of 114 French Rafale fighter jets, maritime patrol aircraft and other military equipment. On Wednesday, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to host fellow BRICS member, Brazil’s President Lula da Silva in New Delhi. These visits come amid India’s landmark AI summit, which Macron and da Silva will also attend.
In January, India signed a historic trade deal with the European Union, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hailed as the ‘mother of all deals’. As India continues to flex its diplomatic muscles on the world stage, is it emerging as a pivotal global power?
