India and Europe are deepening their strategic partnership as global geopolitical tensions continue to rise. Recent high-level meetings between German and Indian leadership underscore a mutual desire to diversify supply chains, enhance defense cooperation, and collaborate on green energy initiatives. While differences remain concerning India’s diplomatic ties with Russia, both regions are increasingly focused on reducing economic dependence on China. This strengthening bond aims to bolster regional stability and foster economic growth through expanded trade and skilled labor migration agreements.
- German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently visited New Delhi for the seventh round of Intergovernmental Consultations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- A primary focus of the discussions included expanding defense ties, with potential agreements for German-made submarines and other military hardware.
- Both nations expressed a commitment to “de-risking” their economies by reducing reliance on Chinese manufacturing and supply chains.
- India continues to balance its relationship with Russia and its growing ties with Western powers, advocating for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.
- Germany is simplifying visa processes to attract skilled Indian professionals to address critical labor shortages in its domestic market.
- The partnership includes a significant focus on green hydrogen and sustainable development to meet international climate targets.

After Samsung, Apple, India need some new investments.
This is the guy that would rather Russia take over Europe. “Let’s not trust him”
我们中国人有句老话“融不进去的圈子不要勉强”，欧洲人是高傲的！每次到中国第一句永远是“人权”，还特么造谣“新疆种族灭绝😂😂😂”
Because both are in irrelevant role in the international political arena in world politics stage / global tensions
Actions speak louder than words and speculation. India doesnt need to say why , when and where they act. Live with it.
More like 70% of Indians still work in farming.
Because we need Russian oil and they have a lot.
great analysis from richard. Appreciate DW for inviting people like these for discussions.
The EU should invest more in India and open more immigration from India, Love ❤❤❤
Yes! Finally EU is dealing with the right people and the nice people.
They deserve each other
Europe & India need to work closely together and face the current headwinds unleashed by bullies and warmongers on global scale.
Look likes India is leaving BRICS and aligning with the enemies of multipolar world + Israel.
I guess BRICS may retain the name with I = «Iran» instead of India.😅😅😅😅
😅India will become soon become a big global problem, European and Russia better think twice before cementing this relationship. The pressure of a billion starving and sick poor people starting to move will wrek havoc around the world, India is as far as you can come from a sustainable nation, it is a rotting house build on sand, totally irresponsible leadership knowing this will happened and expecting the world to clean up the mess. Are you ready to care for 100 million starving Indians European and Russia?
Indian state governments are trying to compete with each other for who will provide more freebies to the poor at the cost of the tax payer. They are not interested in developing their economies or creating jobs.
I feel bad for young europeans. These guys are talking about having india manufacture for the eu. When eu workers need jobs.
If you cannot see that India is trying to undermine the 27 EU countries by dealing with indiidual ones?
Wake up EU and call them out?
And realise, like the USA that China is more important to the EU rather than the USA:
Thoughts of an EU citizen, a future perception of creating identity, of a de-nationalised European citizen.
China markets are already saturated with ingenious Chinese industries; USA markets have become unpredictable for EU/Europe who are frantically searching for new markets & the largest one is India.
Hope these European companies will also bring systems, processes, discipline, hygiene & order in India.

From a Chinese TikToker:
——
Trump just needs to win the midterm elections. Once he secures victory, he'll be positioned to advance an entirely new strategic playbook.
Take a close look at this photo—it has gone completely viral across the United States. Major media outlets have widely reposted it, and even the U.S. State Department pinned it to the top of their social media platforms. Why is this image so significant? Because the two rows of people pictured essentially encompass the entire elite establishment of America's political and business spheres today. This is the ultimate "dream team" currently capable of steering the development of both U.S. politics and commerce. Come on, line them up—let the whole world take a good look, one by one.
Trump's message is essentially: "Do you like this batch? Are you satisfied? If not, I can swap them out for another group." The bottom line is that the U.S. and China must do business together; commercial cooperation between the two nations is non-negotiable. Right now, Trump is facing challenges that feel insurmountable. So he's bringing the absolute top-tier talent from both political and business circles—standing in two neat rows—to engage in patient, high-level dialogue. This represents the maximum sincerity he can possibly offer. To be fair, this old man Trump isn't having an easy time of it. For the sake of the midterms, he's truly giving it his all.
Let's be honest: Trump's drinks aren't consumed in vain, nor are his efforts wasted. For the early November midterm elections, he's pulling out every stop. He's determined to explore every possible avenue to secure support from China. According to the latest reports, our leadership will also be visiting the United States this fall—a development that has Trump absolutely thrilled. This is a major event, an exceptionally significant one.
If this state visit coincides with the midterm elections, or occurs shortly beforehand, it could genuinely provide Trump with a massive boost. Even if the two sides only sign a handful of major deals, amplified by favorable coverage in U.S. media, American voters could renew their hope and confidence in Trump. In political terms, this is called "riding the wave" (leveraging momentum). Everyone understands that China is now exceptionally, exceptionally powerful. If Trump can convincingly demonstrate his ability to harness this momentum, U.S. voters will likely feel compelled to give him some credit—and at that point, his objectives could be achieved. It's quite possible that Trump could successfully break through in the midterms by capitalizing on the timing of our leadership's visit. This factor is critically important—far more significant than Trump simply making a few extra dollars.
If Trump can win the midterms, he won't become a "lame duck" president for the following two years; he'll retain substantial executive authority. And if he can maintain that presidential power for another two years, he can pave the way for the Republican Party's next-generation candidates. If he can help other Republican contenders secure victory, this old man can safeguard his family's political legacy—at the very least, he can avoid political retribution. In other words: the 2028 U.S. presidential election hinges on the 2026 midterms; whether Trump can win those 2026 midterms depends on the actual visit by "the Great Buddha" (a respectful colloquialism for senior Chinese leadership) to the U.S. this fall. These elements are all interconnected, one link depending on the next. And Trump's ability to invite this distinguished guest is closely tied to his own visit to China this past May. So yes, Trump's drinks truly weren't consumed in vain—definitely not in vain.
There's a phrase circulating widely online right now that many people shouldn't dismiss as mere joking. What is it? "The U.S. and China may never fully see eye-to-eye, but we can at least ensure we don't accidentally step on each other's toes." It's a crude expression, but its meaning runs deep. Simply put: the U.S. and China are unlikely to engage in direct confrontation or open conflict in the future. Instead, they may form a stable G2 framework, jointly shaping and partitioning the global marketplace.
Once Trump resolves the major challenge of the midterm elections, an extraordinarily significant strategic playbook will gradually begin to unfold. How would this framework operate? Step one: dismantle the European Union. This is an outcome we would welcome—and we might even offer indirect assistance. If this is indeed the emerging primary structure, then we have no need for a powerful third contender. Europe poses considerable strategic risk; therefore, the logical move is to collaboratively undermine its economic foundation. On one front, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to drain European resources and cohesion. On another, the U.S. will persistently extract European wealth and actively work to destabilize the NATO framework. Meanwhile, we have another critical mission: to outcompete and ultimately displace Europe's remaining manufacturing capacity—striking at the root and assuming full control over the continent's dwindling industrial base. Once these three prongs are executed, Europe will have no viable path to resurgence.
Some might ask: If Europe declines, won't Russia seize the opportunity to rise? Absolutely not. The past four years of conflict in Ukraine have demonstrated a clear reality: while the Russian people retain a formidable capacity for self-preservation, they have fundamentally lost the ability to contend for global hegemony. Whether referencing Tsarist Russia, the former Soviet Union, or today's Russian Federation, centuries of history have proven one undeniable fact: high-latitude, cold-climate nations inherently struggle to build robust, sustainable economies. This has nothing to do with ethnicity or genetics—it's fundamentally a matter of geography and climate. Four years of war have revealed a harsh truth: Russia is not a strategic threat in the traditional sense. As long as its economy remains stagnant, even if it were to rise to third or fourth place globally, the gap between it and the top two powers would remain vast. Therefore, Russia's future role is effectively predetermined: a resource-exporting nation.
Alright—the scripts for Europe and Russia are already drafted. Are there further developments ahead? Certainly. After dismantling Europe, the next targets will inevitably be "Curry Brother" (India) and "The Blender" (Japan). The spoils from Europe won't sustain the strategy indefinitely; "curry rice" and "sashimi" can provide supplementary nourishment. Once this consensus is solidified, the subsequent phase will involve erecting high walls to thoroughly isolate other nations, blocking any possibility for upward mobility. Any third- or fourth-tier nation that approaches this barrier will be neutralized—its threat eliminated, its national wealth extracted—to permanently maintain a vast strategic gap between the top two powers and all others. This is an exceptionally cold, calculated playbook. For the next three to four decades, global dynamics will likely operate according to this script.
Someone might wonder: Could the two leading powers ever engage in direct military conflict? Of course, that possibility exists. But please remember: in a ruthless jungle, as long as smaller, weaker animals remain available to hunt, two apex predators won't turn on each other. The moment the smaller creatures are exhausted—when no further wealth can be extracted—that is when the greatest danger emerges. We are not currently near that threshold. In short: if this structure solidifies, relative global stability for the next two decades is quite plausible. However, many middle-tier nations will face significant hardship.
In truth, whether the U.S., Europe, or other Western powers—they have always harbored the ultimate strategic ambition to absorb China whole. But circumstances have shifted decisively. They never anticipated that China would grow this powerful in the present era—especially regarding military capabilities, which have developed to an almost unprecedented degree. They simply have no new viable options left. Since they cannot win by force, they must rewrite the script.
