.@WBHoekstra: The most important conversation that we are having now across #Europe is about the #Ukrainian crisis—the blatant breach of international law—and we stand shoulder to shoulder with #Ukraine in this period of crisis.

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: The situation in #Ukraine also indicates that war is back on the European continent on a scale that we have not seen since the last century. This has changed the geopolitical order in #Europe and the world.

#Raisina2022

Harsh V Pant: The crisis in #Ukraine also calls for a situation or contextualisation of the conflict, in terms of the geopolitical situation in the #IndoPacific, especially vis a vis the role of #China.

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: It is vital for the #EU to step up its economic power and translate it into geopolitical power and support the countries of the #IndoPacific region, as demonstrated by the EU Indo-Pacific Strategy.

#Raisina2022

Harsh V Pant: There is a growing sense that the #multilateral order is crumbling and so, is a new world order in the offing which would be born out of the revised needs and demands of our times as we are experiencing them now?

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: #Multilateralism has come under attack in the last few years, but we need to push back the pushback against multilateralism & make sure institutions like the #WorldBank, #UN, etc. continue to play the vital role that they have been entrusted with.

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: #NATO and the #EU have worked seamlessly to signal that we are serious about both institutional platforms covering military aspects as conducted under NATO and economic ones under the EU and also, the middle ground of #geopolitics in between.

#Raisina2022

Harsh V Pant: There is a lot of debate about economic globalisation and strategic decoupling, so we are perhaps entering a world order that calls for a redefining of the systems of the past.

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: The one thing that we do have to acknowledge is that a global order that works closely together doesn't always ensure peace and security, as displayed in the case of #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.

#Raisina2022

.@WBHoekstra: The #EU & India have a lot in common and the future for both looks quite bright and robust in terms of their expanding collaboration and deepening their partnership.
