Former Indian ambassadors, in a discussion, highlighted critical challenges in India’s foreign policy, particularly concerning its relationship with the United States. A significant revelation was that France had offered India ‘100 percent TOT on a design’ for a jet engine in 2016, a deal inclusive of sovereign intellectual property rights, presenting a stark contrast to reliance on American defence technology. The conversation also delved into the shifting American perspective under a potential Trump presidency, with the view of China moving from a geostrategic to a purely economic competitor. Experts cautioned against an overinvestment in the relationship with the U.S., which could neglect other key partners like Russia and Europe. Additionally, the transactional nature of U.S. policy and its complex relationship with Pakistan, which navigates its ties with ‘godfathers’ like the U.S., China, and Saudi Arabia, were examined as crucial factors for Indian diplomacy.
