India’s free trade agreement with the European Union has accelerated wider changes in global trade ties. Following the deal, Canada and Brazil have moved to strengthen economic engagement with India. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is planning a visit to New Delhi in March to expand cooperation in energy, critical minerals and technology. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will lead a large business delegation to India in February. Officials and analysts link these moves to efforts by major economies to reduce dependence on the United States as tariff risks rise under President Donald Trump. The India-EU pact, signed on January 27, is seen as a central pillar of this shift. (PC: BBC)
