India has played an increasingly larger part on the global diplomatic stage under Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- but the Hindu nationalist leader’s third term will see him look to take a starring role.
“Modi will be one of the most senior leaders on the global circuit and that too with three election victories under his belt,“ said Harsh V Pant, professor of international relations at King’s College London. He uses India’s growing global footprint to bolster his own domestic standing, and at the same time used India’s holding of the G20 presidency last year to burnish his image abroad.Here is how a third term for Modi could build on a decade of his diplomatic ambitions.India is part of the Quad grouping with the United States, Japan and Australia that positions itself against China’s growing assertiveness in the Asia-Pacific region.
That deepening of ties has come despite rights groups sounding the alarm about threats to India’s democracy and increased discrimination towards the 200-million-plus Muslim minority. But relations between the world’s two most populous countries slumped in 2020 after their troops fought a deadly high-altitude skirmish along their 3,500-kilometre frontier.
It was under Modi’s watch that the African Union bloc became a permanent member of the G20, with India arguing developing nations need a greater say in global decision-making.New Delhi and Moscow have ties dating back to the Cold War and Russia remains by far India’s biggest arms supplier.
