Join us on May 19 for a discussion on India, the European Union and changing geopolitical relations!
India is playing an increasingly important role on the world stage, while the European Union is looking for new partners in a more multipolar international system. Understanding how the relationship between India and Europe is developing is essential for future political, economic and security cooperation. Recent developments such as India’s leadership within the Global South, its expanding economic ties with Europe, and its position between major powers make clear that Europe will need to rethink its approach to India.
During this session, Rajeev Lachmipersad, geopolitical analyst specialising in India, will share his insights on India’s foreign policy, its vision for global governance and the future of India-Europe relations. We hope you will join us for this interesting discussion.
About the speaker
As a geopolitical analyst specializing in India and co-founder of the Hague Institute of Geopolitics, Rajeev Lachmipersad focus—alongside his team—on the geopolitical dimensions of foreign policy. His mission is to help Dutch policymakers, businesses, and citizens anticipate geopolitical developments rather than merely react to them. He and his team examine end present geographic factors, regime interests versus national interests, underlying societal movements, economic shifts, and the influence of foreign actors in the geopolitics of their own specific region. This can be through the weekly podcasts (GeopolitiekNu podcast), update articles and masterclasses. In this way, Rajeev is helping stakeholders making informed decisions about policy, investment, and strategy regarding India.
