Further defence cooperation also seems possible on artillery systems, and on aircraft-carrier technologies.
Modi referred to pluralism in India in an article in the prestigious Economist magazine whose brief excerpts was tweeted by its Europe business correspondent based in Paris. No time can be lost.
They also noted that geopolitical challenges, including the politicisation of economic relations and the introduction of unilateral economic sanctions, continue to beset future prospects for economic growth. “This is needed most in countries where it is most prevalent”, he said.
