EU wants India to go against Russia, but India - strategic partnership with Russia 5) Advocacy on human right, minority rights, Jammu and Kashmir by EU - tradons in relationship. 6) Difference over WTO negotiations: Agreement on Agriculture Way Forward: 1) Europe should come out of mindset of Europe's problem are world's problems - Dr. S Jaishankar 2) Early conclusion of BTIA and trade agreement 3) Country specific approach like Nordic, Central European countries, economic powerhouse like Germany and France, etc. Hence, India should energetically engage with EU and divergences shouldn't become points of difference as two major democracies deal with.
