Policy Study

17/11/2017

This Dossier highlights various aspects of the domestic scene, particularly the current economic situation and the forthcoming election in Gujarat. The 14th India-EU summit will hopefully contribute to improve the relations and speed up the overdue Free Trade Agreement between the EU and India. The visits of President Ramnath Kovind to Djibouti and Ethiopia underlines India’s role in the Indian Ocean and in Africa. The visit of Dr. Abdullah Abdullah has also to be seen against the backdrop of India’s steady and even increasing engagement with Afghanistan.
