Interesting to see discussions on AI and defense with Hungary and Albania. Middle Eastern countries are diversifying their partnerships fast. India should take note—the world is moving beyond traditional alliances.
UAE's participation in GLOBSEC is fine, but can we talk about how these forums often become echo chambers for Western interests? I'd like to see more Indian voices in these global security dialogues, not just Gulf states.
Love the UAE's focus on AI and energy transition. Their vision is impressive. But what about the human rights angle? These forums rarely discuss working conditions in Gulf states. Just a thought. 🤔
As an Indian, I'm happy to see UAE playing a constructive role. We share strong ties through our diaspora there. More cooperation on renewable energy and AI between India-UAE-Europe could be a game-changer. 🌍
