MED Event "India in the Middle East: Looking Westward"

In cooperation with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies
The relationship between New Delhi and countries in the MENA region has historically been characterised by profound political, economic, and cultural ties. India, where elections have just re-confirmed Modi as Prime Minister, has recently increased its interests and strategic projection in the region, establishing itself as a significant political and economic partner. This event will delve into the interchange between the Asian giant and the countries of the region, their multifaceted relations and prospects for the future considering the context of the Gaza war and renewed uncertainties in the broader region.
