EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas said the bloc's ties with India are 'not only about trade, but also about defending the rules-based international order' AFP The European Union's top diplomat warned Wednesday that its push for closer ties with India could be hampered by New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil and involvement in military drills with Moscow. The 27-nation bloc is pressing to seal a trade deal with the world's most populous nation and strengthen bonds in areas like defence as US President Donald Trump has rocked the global order. "Ultimately, our partnership is not only about trade, but also about defending the rules-based international order," EU foreign policy chief Kallas said, as she unveiled a new strategy from Brussels to bolster relations.
