S4E11 India Becomes the Indo-Pacific Security Hub — EU Signs New Defence Pact
from Emerging World Order 2025 · host Prateek Shukla
** Welcome To The Emerging World Order 2025 **The EU–India relationship is entering a new phase. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says the EU–India FTA is in the “last mile,” and that the EU–India Summit on Jan 27 is expected to deliver two major outcomes: a push to close the trade deal and a new defence & security partnership.In this video, we break down what the official document actually says—how Europe wants to link the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, why the Mediterranean–Red Sea–Indian Ocean corridor matters, and what the partnership plans on maritime security, maritime domain awareness (MDA), counterterrorism, cyber, and defence industrial cooperation. We also cover the operational details most people miss: EUNAVFOR ATALANTA / ASPIDES, the Regional Maritime Information Fusion Centre (Madagascar), critical maritime infrastructure protection, and deeper law-enforcement cooperation like Europol–CBI / SIENA—plus why CBAM is a sticking point and how the FTA could remove around €4B in tariffs.**Chapters**00:00 Intro — Why Jan 27 matters01:12 Ursula’s message: FTA + defence partnership as the “two outcomes”03:05 The official plan: what the document actually prioritizes05:02 Euro-Atlantic ↔ Indo-Pacific link: Mediterranean–Red Sea–Indian Ocean07:10 IPOI + IORA + 2024 Indo-Pacific consultations09:05 Ukraine spillover: sanctions circumvention + shadow fleet language11:10 Maritime security + UNCLOS + protecting sea lanes13:25 MDA + regional frameworks + Madagascar fusion centre16:10 EUNAVFOR ATALANTA / ASPIDES + India Navy cooperation18:40 Hybrid threats: critical maritime infrastructure + maritime safety20:35 Cyber lane: ICT supply chains + trusted vendors22:30 Counterterrorism: financing, propaganda, emerging tech risks24:10 Organised crime: Europol–CBI, SIENA, Eurojust track25:40 Defence industry: supply chains + proposed Defence Industry Forum27:10 Trade money: CBAM + “€4B tariffs” claim + what to watch next28:40 Outro — What would prove this is real#india #eu #europeanunion #ursulavonderleyen #indiaeu #euindia #fta #tradeagreement #cbam #defence #security #indopacific #maritimesecurity #maritimedomainawareness #mda #uncos #eunavfor #atalanta #aspides #indiannavy #cybersecurity #counterterrorism #europol #cbi #siena #defenceindustry #supplychains #geopolitics #emergingworldorder2025 X: @emergingorderTikTok: @emergingworldorder2025Rumble: @emergingworldorder2025Spotify: @emergingworldorder2025YouTube: @emergingworldorder2025
