The evolving geopolitical order in the Indo-Pacific has prompted the European Union (EU) to adjust its strategic priorities as it looks eastward to tackle the emerging economic and security threats. The features of the EU’s Trade and Technology Council (TTC), signed with the backdrop of an evolving geopolitical order focus on critical aspects of green energy, trade, and technology. This paper comments on the growing European-Indian partnership and how it is strategically beneficial to both the signatories. Additionally, given the EU’s commitment to the rule of law, this paper presents a critical assessment of India as a ‘like-minded’ partner.
