Türkiye-India Relations in the 21st Century: Progress, Challenges, and Prospects
March 31, 2024
This study analyzes the multifaceted dynamics of Türkiye-India relations from 2000 to 2023, exploring their bilateral interactions across diplomatic, economic, scientific, and cultural spheres. It delves into both nations’ foreign policy strategies, considering the historical context and evolving geopolitical landscapes. Despite historical tensions and differing stances on issues like Kashmir and Cyprus, the research highlights a trajectory of improving relations, particularly in economic engagements and cultural exchanges. The study underscores the influence of global shifts and internal political changes on their diplomatic approaches, with Türkiye’s strategic pivot under the AK Party (since 2002) and India’s assertive foreign policy under the BJP (since 2014) shaping their international postures. By examining trade patterns, institutional collaborations, and societal interactions, the article articulates a complex yet progressively cooperative relationship between Türkiye and India, pointing toward a future where economic diplomacy and mutual interests may further solidify their ties amid regional and global challenges.
