NEW DELHI: India has played an increasingly larger part on the global diplomatic stage under Prime Minister Narendra Modi - but the Hindu nationalist leader's third term will see hi
Modi portrays his country as a leader of the Global South, with himself a chief spokesman for the loose grouping, and another five years in office gives him greater longevity and seniority among the world's most powerful, despite his reduced parliamentary majority.
"He has set out major ambitions for himself and India and it's unlikely that he would compromise on his legacy."Analysts say that India has interests rather than allies and Modi - once a pariah - has been courted by the United States and European nations as a counterweight to China, despite warnings by rights activists about rising authoritarianism.
In February, Washington approved a US$4 billion sale of state-of-the-art drones to India, the latest bolster to India's defence in a counterbalance to its northern neighbour. India also has growing ties with European countries, and hopes to expand multi-billion-dollar defence deals with France including the sale of Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene-class submarines.Beijing and New Delhi are both members - alongside Moscow and others - of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization forum.
Modi's right-wing government has pumped billions of dollars into border infrastructure and boosted military spending by 13 per cent last year - but it is still barely a quarter of China's.Modi this week called New Delhi"a strong and important voice of the Global South", and last year India hosted two"Voice of the Global South" summits as it sought to strengthen its role as a representative of Asian, African and South American nations.
