This policy brief outlines how India and Europe can translate their shared commitment to rules-based multilateralism into a coordinated reform agenda. Both view global institutions as public goods essential for predictability and fair access amid rising great-power rivalry, and both recognize that today’s system—strained by unilateralism, economic coercion, and digital-era disruption—requires targeted, practical improvements rather than sweeping overhaul. Their alignment positions them to jointly strengthen the WTO, advance UN Security Council reform, shape digital and infrastructure standards, and expand green-transition financing without relying on U.S. or Chinese initiative. By linking bilateral cooperation with broader multilateral objectives through structured platforms, India and Europe can reinforce core institutions, support climate and energy-transition priorities, and help shape a resilient, rules-based order suited to an era of strategic competition.
