ИНДИЯ — ПОИСКИ ВНЕШНЕПОЛИТИЧЕСКОГО КУРСА

Abstract

In January 2023, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that the world is in crisis and called for a summit of more than 120 developing and less developed countries comprising the Global South with the goal of creating a new world order. Until recently, India has been able to maintain neutrality in her relations with Russia. As for China, there are unresolved problems with this country, especially the protracted border conflict. India is concerned with China’s growing power. Current world developments, including those in Asia and Ukraine, resulted in an invitation to N. Modi to come to the US with a state visit in June 2023 to ‘celebrate the enduring friendship’ between the two countries. The invitation stated that the US looked forward to continuing to work with India to build a brighter future for both countries and for the world. The expectations for this visit were based on the assumption that India was an important power that could counter China’s growing economic and military influence. US – India relations in the XXI century will be critical for the whole world. During his talks with Modi, Biden underscored the importance Quad, which includes USA, India, Japan, and Australia and is aimed at limiting China’s influence and outreach. Modi stated that the New Delhi – Washington relations were stronger and deeper than ever before and prior to his state visit he said that there was ‘unprecedented trust’ between the leaders of India and the US.
