Jeg mener, at EU's forbindelser med Indien er af afgørende vigtighed på grund af Indiens geostrategiske betydning og landets mulige rolle i en multilateral verdensorden.
History has conferred on some Member States, such as Portugal, privileged ties and relations with India. I believe that this could be to everyone’s advantage, and clearly justifies the EU’s support for maintaining and strengthening those ties and relations.
