11 Navigating a changing world A close relationship between the India and the EU will benefit both Talks to negotiate the India European Union trade pact, the Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA), have not progressed during the 14th India-EU Summit, held in New Delhi on October 6. Both sides continue to recalibrate their bargaining power and understanding of their relative positions on the international stage. Nevertheless(फ र भ )- Positive outcomes of these interactions, which go beyond just trade. The very fact that the two sides are talking and working together in several areas is significant. Much has changed for the EU since the last summit held in Brussels in 2016: 1)-Brexit; 2)-Several key elections, including in France and Germany; and 3)-Rifts between eastern and western European countries on what core EU values are and should be. 4)-Donald Trump as U.S. President and consequent retreat of America from its leadership role in the West has provided a significant external stimulus to the EU s identity shift.

More notable this time in light of 1)-U.S. s uncertain position on the international stage and 2)-Mr. Trump has said he is going to decertify the nuclear deal with Iran a deal that the EU is keen to uphold (क यम रखन ) and 3)-His administration has given notice of intent to withdraw from the Paris Accord. Pro EU leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron have been pushing for a stronger union in Europe as Britain leaves the EU. The centre piece of the recent summits, the BTIA- failed talks is a disagreement on whether the protection of foreign investments will be part of the BTIA or dealt with in a stand-alone treaty. India has allowed tens of bilateral investment treaties to lapse, including those with EU states

13 Continue India wanting a greater ease of movement of temporary skilled workers to provide services in EU EU wanting greater market access for its automobiles and its wines and spirits. EU is concerned about China flooding global markets and Its response to China s Belt and Road Initiative has been lukewarm(ग नग न ), China trying to make inroads into Eastern and Central Europe through infrastructure investments. This makes it vital for India to cement its bonds with the EU further. With around 100 billion in bilateral goods and services trade last year- It will certainly pay for both India and the EU to keep each other close as they feel their way around the emerging international order.
