Welcome Words

Bruegel and the India International Centre hosted a multi‑day forum in Brussels to dissect the newly signed EU‑India Free Trade Agreement and its broader strategic implications. Sessions covered global challenges such as climate change, AI governance, and shifting trade dynamics, while highlighting the EU‑India Security and Defence Partnership and prospects for joint industrial cooperation. Policymakers and scholars examined how both regions can reinforce multilateral institutions and pursue a balanced digital agenda. The event concluded with a forward‑looking discussion on extending the FTA’s benefits beyond tariffs.
