The growing strategic partnership between India and the European Union is becoming a key pillar of global cooperation. Following the 2025 visit of Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission to India, both sides signaled a stronger commitment to joint action in areas such as climate change, digital transformation, connectivity, and global security. As geopolitical tensions rise and multilateral systems are tested, the India-EU relationship has the potential to shape global responses to today’s most pressing challenges. This partnership also opens new avenues for countries like the Czech Republic to deepen their engagement with India through economic, technological, and diplomatic cooperation.

How can India and the EU safeguard common interests and values in emerging technologies and digital domains? Can India and the EU design a unified and impactful proposition that shapes how multilateral institutions respond to key planetary and human challenges? What role can the Czech Republic play, and how can a closer India-EU partnership transform its relations with India?
