Lok Sabha Election Results: With the BJP-led NDA securing the majority needed to form the government in the recent Lok Sabha elections, it is nearly certain that Narendra Modi, now 73, will serve as the Prime Minister of India for a third consecutive term. This victory places Modi at the helm of the world's most populous country once again. Let's explore what Modi's third term means for Pakistan, China, and the rest of the world.
Prime Minister Modi has consistently accused Islamabad of fostering cross-border terrorism and has refused to engage in dialogue with Pakistan. In 2015, a year after his first term began, Modi made a surprise visit to Lahore, attempting to thaw relations. However, these efforts did not yield lasting results.
When Shahbaz Sharif assumed office as Pakistan's Prime Minister in March, Modi extended his congratulations via Twitter, sparking hopes of improved relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. The geopolitical climate remains tense, but there is cautious optimism for potential diplomatic engagement.
US President Joe Biden hosted a state dinner for Prime Minister Modi last year, highlighting the India-US relationship as a defining partnership of the 21st century. In February, Washington approved the sale of advanced drones worth $4 billion to India, underscoring the growing strategic alliance aimed at countering China's influence.
Under Modi's leadership, India's relations with European countries have also flourished. Notable deals include the purchase of Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene-class submarines from France. These partnerships are expected to deepen further during Modi's third term, enhancing India's defence and economic ties with Europe.
India-China relations have been strained, especially following the violent clash in the Galwan Valley in 2020. During Modi's tenure, India has significantly bolstered its defence capabilities and taken measures to secure its border with China. Despite the ongoing tensions, China remains India's second-largest trading partner, illustrating the complex interplay of competition and economic interdependence.
India's relationship with Russia dates back to the Cold War, with Russia being India's largest arms supplier. This strong bond was evident when India abstained from voting on a UN resolution condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine and continued purchasing Russian crude oil despite Western sanctions.
Prime Minister Modi recently congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election, reaffirming India's commitment to maintaining and developing a special relationship with Russia. This enduring alliance is likely to remain a cornerstone of India's foreign policy.
Narendra Modi's third term as Prime Minister will likely continue to shape global geopolitics. His tenure has seen India assert itself more confidently on the world stage, balancing relationships with major powers while navigating regional challenges. As India continues to rise, Modi's leadership will play a crucial role in steering the country through complex international waters.
With strengthened alliances, enhanced defence capabilities, and a firm stance on key issues, Modi's third term promises to further India's position as a significant global player. The world will be watching closely as India navigates its future under his leadership, influencing global trade, security, and diplomatic landscapes.
