Analysis of Indo-Brazilian and Indo-Argentine Relations: Strategic and Economic Aspects

Despite their long history of interaction, India and Latin American countries have not attached much importance to their relations for a long time. Over the past two decades, India’s bilateral and multilateral ties with Brazil and Argentina have become significantly more active. This shift can be explained by changes in the international political architecture, as well as reforms within the countries and changes in their political elites. This study aims to identify similarities and differences in India’s approaches to interaction with these countries. The analysis shows that India differentiates its strategy: with Brazil, cooperation is more broad-based and institutionalized, covering trade, investment, defense, space, and participation in international associations, while with Argentina, interaction focuses on the agricultural and raw materials sector, pharmaceuticals, IT, and specific strategic projects. Methodologically, the work is based on comparative analysis using secondary sources: official documents, statistical databases, expert commentary, and academic publications. The results show that India is successfully adapting its approaches to the economic and geopolitical potential of its partners, which strengthens its position within the Global South strategy.
