Narendra Modi

Diplomatic relationships between China, Russia, and India seem to be strengthening.

This meeting potentially shifted international dynamics between the non-Western superpowers.

When Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, many expected ties with India to strengthen. Modi was one of the first foreign leaders to visit Washington.

India’s JSW Group has partnered with Tomcar to produce military vehicles in Chandigarh, enhancing local manufacturing and expanding into new markets.

Both Israel and India have shared interests, such as securing access to advanced technologies or deepening strategic influence in Asia, but there are some key challenges ahead.

India’s struggle with Pakistan is not new. Over the decades, Pakistan’s military and intelligence establishment has cultivated a network of jihadist organizations and terrorist proxies.

Trump’s verbal praise of both leaders for choosing 'common sense and great intelligence' reflects diplomatic acumen and acknowledges the precarious balance both nations must navigate. 

Once viewed through a lens of skepticism during the Cold War era, India’s relationship with Israel has blossomed into a robust alliance in areas such as defense, technology, and diplomacy.

The upcoming Trump-Modi meeting has the potential to significantly contribute to both regional and global security and prosperity.

The Modi government’s actions appear more driven by electoral calculations and domestic political imperatives than by a genuine realignment of foreign policy priorities.

This transformation in India’s approach toward the Israel-Palestine issue or the wider West Asian region didn’t come about overnight, or on October 7, 2023.
