Closer Taiwan-India ties neededBy Sana Hashmi 胡莎娜The return to power of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in Taiwan and the Bharatiya Janata Party in India marked a pivotal moment for advancing India-Taiwan relations. Economic ties between Taiwan and India show promise, but remain underdeveloped relative to their global trade capacities. Revitalizing and expanding such exchanges could deepen mutual understanding and cooperation across sectors, thereby strengthening bilateral ties. In the absence of formal diplomatic ties, think tanks and political party dialogues play a crucial role. Initiatives such as the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation-led India-Taiwan dialogue demonstrate the potential of non-governmental engagements in deepening bilateral understanding and collaboration.
