Description
In November 2018, the EU adopted a new strategy on India which aims to strengthen the EU-India strategic partnership by focusing on sustainable modernisation and common responses to global and regional issues. It is meant to serve as a coherent platform to advance key EU interests, improving the way the EU approaches India.
The EU is already India's first partner, in terms of trade and investments. Services in 2018 and bilateral trade in goods in 2019 totalled €107.5 billion. Around 6,000 EU companies are present in India, providing direct and indirect employment to approximately 6.7 million people.
