Collaboration with India
India and the European Union are committed to an equal and dynamic dialogue on all subjects of interest and concern to them as major entities in their own regions, and as emerging global actors on the world stage. The European Union is already India's first partner in terms of trade and actual investment inflows and is in the front rank of its partners in the fields of economic and development cooperation.
Since the signature of a Co-operation Agreement on Science and Technology, India and Europe's relationship has gone from strength to strength. With the commitment of both parties to continue to promote RTD co-operation in the field of Information Society Technologies and share the goal of a knowledge based economy, India and Europe are together addressing worldwide issues as well as the role of science in society, knowledge and digital divide to enhance the quality of life for both the citizens of India and Europe.
