France Offered India Jet Engine Deal in 2016! | Foreign Policy Talk | India Today Conclave 2025

In a discussion, former Indian ambassadors talked about challenges in India’s foreign policy, especially its relationship with the United States. They revealed that in 2016, France offered India a jet engine deal with full technology transfer and ownership rights, a better option than depending on U.S. defense tech. The experts also discussed how a Trump presidency might change U.S. views, seeing China more as an economic rival than a strategic one. They warned India against focusing too much on the U.S., which could harm ties with other partners like Russia and Europe. They also highlighted the U.S.’s deal-based approach and its tricky relationship with Pakistan, which balances ties with major powers like the U.S., China, and Saudi Arabia, as key issues for India’s diplomacy.
