In the intricate web of 21st-century geopolitics, India has emerged as a crucial and important player on the world stage. India's growing economy, strategic geography, and flexible diplomatic capabilities have positioned it at the center of a number of regional, and global, initiatives. At World News, we provide you with an overview of how India, in shaping matters of state, has also been shaped by global affairs - an important, and inevitable, set of developments you should know in order to gain a sense of the direction of the world.

India's role in world politics has changed considerably over the last twenty years. India is no longer simply a regional power; India now has a presence in global discussions on trade, security, climate change, and technology, among other topics. As the largest democracy and a major, and rapidly growing, economy, India has heft on the global stage - whether global institutions like the United Nations or G20 or world events like climate conferences.

India's emergence as a player to watch on the world stage is most notable in the area of strategic partnerships, which World News is tracking for our readers. From defense agreements with the United States, to trade and investment agreements with Gulf countries, to an energy relationship with Russia, India is pursuing a multi-aligned foreign policy, which is helping to fulfill its own national interests. The Indo-Pacific strategy has allowed India access to new regional partnerships as it develops maritime security arrangements with countries such as Japan and Australia. These partnerships are not limited to military engagement, but developed with economic connectivity, regional trade and stability, and counter-terrorism in mind.

Similarly to what we see with strategic partnerships, we also see India depart from its traditional foreign diplomacy with climate diplomacy. India is one of the most affected nations by climate change and has taken a leadership role in the development of several initiatives, such as the International Solar Alliance. India has ambitious renewable energy goals, and while domestic development is an ongoing challenge, India has embraced climate justice as a central principle to help ensure sustainable climate action for developing countries. At World News, our coverage of the environment demonstrates how India's domestic climate action policies have a significant impact on international negotiation and treaty negotiations.

India's relations with its neighboring countries are also setting the tone of global affairs. In its relationship with China, there is both competition and caution in the air—especially after the border tensions, as well as the challenges posed with trade, over the last couple of years. In its dealings with Pakistan, the diplomatic relationship continues to be strained, still largely being driven by regional security issues. India is still trying to strengthen ties with countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, with a large focus being placed on infrastructure deals, cultural agreements and trade accords. These regional dynamics are also reflected in the abilities of World News to report on these political stories and show how they are trying to shift the global geopolitical balances.

On the tech front, India is also becoming more integrated into global innovation networks. Riding on a fast-growing start-up culture, as well as initiatives that promote services like Digital India, and UPI, India is becoming a centre for fintech, healthtech, and AI innovations. India's tech partnerships with countries in Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America—reflecting how India is becoming both a market, as well as a contributor to global tech innovation.

Finally, the importance of India's growing diaspora (over 30 million Indians in the world in how this too will influence international relations and global influence cannot be understated. From the ranks of businesspersons in Silicon Valley, to leaders in parliamentary services in the UK and Canada, Indian-origin professionals are firmly embedded in the processes that shape and influence world affairs today more than at any time in their respective histories. World News reports on how this diaspora enhances India's soft power by placing it on different hemispheres, which reinforces its borders.
