ORF PolicyPod

In this episode of “The Ideas Factory”, Naghma Sahar, Senior Fellow at ORF, and Harsh V. Pant, Director of Studies and Head of Strategic Studies Programme at ORF, analyse - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Europe; with the centre of power strategically shifting to the Indo-Pacific; India and the European Union are trying to work out a new arrangement, to accommodate the new geopolitical reality. China's rising presence in the Indo- Pacific and South China Sea region with Russia challenging Europe on its very doorsteps, it becomes extremely crucial for the European Union to declare its ambitions much more openly. Engagement of India with Germany has been evolving, with the focus on green and sustainable partnerships, and the professional mobility agreement. The big crisis going on in neighbouring Sri Lanka is a big cause of worry for India. We are seeing a cascading effect, with countries like Nepal, and Pakistan facing enormous political and economic challenges. #PMModi #Europe #Ukraine #UkraineCrisis #HarshVPant #NaghmaSahar #SouthAsia #SriLanka #Delhi For More ORF Podcast Click Here: www.orfonline.org/podcasts/
