السياسة الخارجية الهندية تجاه شرق أفريقيا الأبعاد، الدوافع، والتحديات

Abstract

Abstract:

India seeks to enhance its influence in East Africa through a foreign policy based on economic, security, and geopolitical dimensions. Key drivers include: Economics: seeking new markets for Indian goods, ensuring energy supplies (especially oil and gas), and investing in infrastructure. Geopolitics: countering Chinese influence in the region and strengthening cooperation with Indian Ocean countries. Security: combating piracy in the Horn of Africa and confronting terrorist threats. Historical and Cultural Ties: leveraging the large Indian diaspora in East Africa as a bridge for cooperation.

Challenges include: competition with global powers such as China and the United States; political and security instability in some countries in the region; and India's limited resources compared to its competitors.

Nevertheless, East Africa remains a strategic region for India as it seeks to strengthen its role as a global player.
