'Know BJP' sounds like a nice outreach programme. But honestly, I hope this isn't just PR. India-EU ties need more substance than photo ops — we need actual technology transfer for our renewable energy goals.
As someone who works in international trade, I'm thrilled the FTA is finally concluded. India-EU has massive potential beyond goods — services, digital, AI. This could be our 'China plus one' moment if we play it right.
I wish the article mentioned what specific questions the EU diplomats asked. But overall, good to see India's democratic processes being appreciated. Our grassroots democracy is our strength, whether people in Delhi realise it or not! 🙏
Mission heads from 23 EU countries? That's a huge diplomatic reach. But I'm cautiously optimistic — past FTA talks took years. Let's hope implementation is fast and benefits small businesses too, not just big corporates.
It's interesting how 'Know BJP' is positioning the party globally. But you can't teach democracy without listening too — I hope the EU diplomats also shared their concerns about free press and judicial independence. Dialogue should be two-way.
Digital revolution, AI, clean energy —
