Speaking on WION, Carnegie India’s Constantino Xavier discussed the historical background of the India-Portugal relationship, and why it took more than thirty years for an Indian prime minister to pay a bilateral visit to the southern European country. He argued that the delay in conducting bilateral relations was due to the long-standing Portuguese colonial regime in Goa and parts of Daman and Diu, which ended in 1961, long after India’s independence. The integration of Portugal to Europe and India’s status as a growing economic power, he said, have now created favorable conditions for reengagement between the two countries.

- The EU Equivocating on Turkey Is Bad GeopoliticsCommentary
Following Ursula von der Leyen’s gaffe equating Turkey to Russia and China, relations with Ankara risk deteriorating even further. Without better, more consistent diplomatic messaging, how can the EU pretend to be a geopolitical power?
