A strategic overview of UK-India relations

2019-06-25T10:50:50+00:00June 25th, 2019|2019, Special Edition – June 2019|

Despite India’s economic relations with UK being right on track, the emergence of newer superpowers and political uncertainties have weakened the UK’s standing, potentially resulting in India gaining an upper hand. Narendra Modi’s first term coincided with the UK’s vote to leave the European Union. For the UK, this meant that politics turned inward.

A strategic partnership is based on the commonality of interests. It also presupposes a high degree of trust between the partners that is aimed at achieving those interests. A strategic partnership further demands constant dialogue to ensure that the partnership stays on course.

India, UK and the Dawn of the Afro-Asian Century

2019-06-25T08:22:58+00:00June 25th, 2019|2019, Special Edition – June 2019|

A partnership between the UK, India and Arica can not only redefine the current global ethic but also easily become one of the most significant trilateral relationships in the coming years. As we approach the third decade of the 21st century, it is unmistakable that Asia now has a twin – Africa. Even as economists and political pundits alike contest and celebrate the Asian Century, it would be erroneous to ignore the promise that a full one-fifth of humanity that [...]
