Raisina Dialogue 2026 II Day 2 - Live II Essential Bilateral

India and Europe have significantly strengthened their ties over the past decade. New Delhi has signed economic partnerships with the European Union, the European Free Trade Association, and the United Kingdom, and both geographies have used their bilateral relationship as a source of geopolitical stability and economic dynamism at a moment when the global order is otherwise being challenged by protectionism and revisionism. Nevertheless, key constraints remain in both their individual capacity and as partners. Brussels has emerged as an empire of global norms and regulation but lacks competitive technological and defence capacity. India continues to emphasise its normative idea of power but lags in world-beating tech and indigenous defence manufacturing capacity. Can a meaningful partnership help each geography overcome these deficiencies? Or, as both search for ways to secure their strategic autonomy and geoeconomic resilience, might their chosen tactics pull them in different directions? This panel will consider the future of this relationship and evaluate whether it has the potential to ascend from statements of hope into tangible outcomes – not just for Europe and India, but for the world. Why did Europe and Asia have to work through North America to understand each other strategically for so long? How can we ensure that the political and strategic map corresponds to the reality that we are neighbours, and that our military vision and practice are better aligned? India and Europe have invested political capital into their relationship, but is it a reactive, feel-good relationship, or will it really change how the world works? Can Europe genuinely emerge as a new pole in global politics, and if so, what must change – and how does the relationship with India factor into this ambition? What are the convergences between India and Europe on tech regulation, climate action, and defence collaboration? In a world being pulled in one way by US big tech and the other by China’s state-led investments, can India and Europe together define an inclusive third way for tech policy?
