India's foreign policy in 2025 was defined by crisis management as the nation faced 50% US tariffs on exports, ongoing China border tensions, and global uncertainty. To counter these challenges, India aggressively pursued trade diversification, securing deals with the UK (99% duty-free access), Oman (98% duty-free access), and New Zealand.
