Modi visits Israel as US Iran tensions rise

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Israel on Wednesday for a two day visit that both governments say will deepen ties, as fears grow over a possible military clash between the United States and Iran. Modi, a Hindu nationalist, was the first Indian prime minister ever to visit Israel in 2017, when he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu famously walked barefoot together on a Haifa beach.​ The two men remain in power nearly nine years later and describe each other as friends. During this visit they are expected to hold talks on artificial intelligence and defence cooperation at a time when Israel is seeking to expand its military exports. An Israeli government official said the trip would pave the way for new partnerships in many sectors, while a foreign ministry official said bilateral relations were close to a significant […]

India, EU seal landmark trade deal to slash tariffs on most goods

India and the European Union have reached a landmark trade agreement that will sharply cut or eliminate tariffs on most goods, opening up India’s vast market and deepening ties between the two economies. The pact aims to reduce duties on 96.6 percent of traded goods by value and is expected to double EU exports to India by 2032 while saving European companies about 4 billion euros in customs duties.​ Under the deal, the EU will phase out tariffs on 99.5 percent of goods imported from India over seven years, including marine products, leather, textiles, chemicals, rubber, base metals and gems and jewellery. Sensitive farm products such as soya, beef, sugar, rice and dairy are excluded from the agreement.​ For European carmakers, India will slash tariffs on imported vehicles from as high as 110 percent to 10 percent over five years, […]

Putin offers India uninterrupted fuel despite US pressure

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered India “uninterrupted” supplies of fuel, promising to keep crude oil and other energy shipments flowing despite mounting pressure from the United States over New Delhi’s trade with Moscow.​ Putin made the pledge during a summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, describing Russia as a reliable supplier of oil, gas and coal for India’s fast growing economy and stressing that Moscow is ready to continue steady deliveries.​ The offer comes as President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed steep tariffs on many Indian exports and targeted major Russian energy firms with sanctions, arguing that India’s purchases of discounted Russian oil help fund the war in Ukraine.​ India, now one of the world’s largest buyers of Russian crude, has slightly reduced its imports in recent months under US pressure but continues to defend […]

India Hosts Taliban Delegation in Historic Diplomatic Reset

More than four years after the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, which forced India to shut down its embassy in Kabul and evacuate diplomats amid the collapse of the Western-backed Afghan government, New Delhi has now extended a red-carpet welcome to the group’s leadership. A delegation led by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has arrived in the Indian capital for a weeklong official visit, marking the first-ever visit by a Taliban leader to India. Muttaqi, who remains on a United Nations sanctions list, received a temporary travel exemption from the UN to attend the meetings. The visit represents a striking shift in India’s foreign policy. Analysts describe it as a strategic move of pragmatism — aimed at countering Pakistani influence in Afghanistan, as ties between Kabul and Islamabad have recently soured over cross-border tensions. Indian officials, while […]

Trump slams India trade ties, says tariffs will drop “to nothing”

US President Donald Trump has claimed that India is ready to cut its tariffs “to nothing,” while slamming the existing trade relationship as “a totally one-sided disaster.” His remarks come a week after Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, which included a 25% penalty tied to Delhi’s refusal to halt oil imports from Russia. India has not yet responded, but the dispute over Russian oil has pushed Delhi-Washington ties to one of their lowest points. Trump argued that India has long benefitted disproportionately from the trade partnership, writing that while India sells “massive amounts of goods” to the US, America exports very little in return. “It has been a totally one-sided relationship for many decades,” he added. The timing of his comments coincides with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s presence at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin, […]
