🇮🇳 On June 9, Mr. Narendra Modi was sworn in as India’s Prime Minister for a third term in a grand ceremony at the presidential palace in Delhi.

At 73, Mr. Modi became only the second leader in the country’s history to win a third term, following in the footsteps of its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term balances continuity and change in India's foreign policy, emphasising strategic autonomy, regional stability, and deeper engagement with the Global South.

His "Neighbourhood First" policy, complex relations with China and Pakistan, and strengthened ties with Russia underscore India's commitment to a multipolar vision and a significant role in global governance, writes Rupal Mishra.

⛔️ Sanctions, as an important tool in international politics, are unlikely to disappear.

This also applies to unilateral sanctions: the West will continue to impose those restrictive measures on states that oppose it and whose policies do not correspond to Western interests.

However, support for such moves will continue to erode, writes Milana Živanović.
