India as a bridge between the Global North and South
Today’s India not only firmly asserts its own point but also strongly amplifies the voice of the Global South.
Unlike the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM), India’s motivation does not appear to be based on decolonisation or strong criticism of the West. Rather, as India attempts to increase its presence in the Global South,
It is simultaneously deepening its relationships with traditional partners such as the United States and Europe.

India decided to develop its own satellite navigation system NavIC — for strategic reasons because, as it found out during the Kargil war, access to global systems is uncertain.
Originally called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), NavIC is meant to provide accurate position information service to users across India and its 1,500-km neighbourhood.
NavIC is designed to provide two types of services — standard positioning service (SPS) with accuracy greater than 20 metres and timing accuracy of 20 nanoseconds for civilian use; and a restricted service (RS), which is encrypted and offered only to authorised users.

The international community must also play its role to push for the sustainability of this deal.
The future of West Asian prosperity, newer geo-economic architectures such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, a potential expansion of the Abraham Accords, and even the radicalism of a Saudi Arabia-Israel normalisation, ultimately hinges on this momentum.
At the end of the day, the management of regional geopolitical fissures by regional powers will determine all outcomes.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its PSLV-C60 mission.
Its primary payload was a pair of satellites for the Space Docking Experiment, or SpaDeX, to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking.
The ability to execute it in orbit is an essential stepping stone to more complex missions.
Docking technology has become desirable thanks to the perceived inevitability of long-duration spaceflight.

The Chabahar port has been the driving force of the bilateral relationship in recent times.
India and Iran signed a 10-year contract for the operation of the port.

As it is located outside the Strait of Hormuz, it insulates India’s trade from any threat of closure of sea lanes due to conflicts in the Persian Gulf region.
