When we mention India-G7 relations, we must consider the sheer importance that the Indo-Pacific holds for G7, of which India is an extremely crucial partner.

The second part focuses on the revitalisation of defence cooperation ties between Italy and India. Indeed in 2023, celebrating the 75th anniversary of Italy-India diplomacy, the two countries elevated their bilateral relations to a strategic partnership with defence cooperation at its core.
