The elections in the United States, Brazil and Israel have brought India's economic and strategic relationships with the three countries back into focus. For India, the stakes go beyond who wins or loses. Each election comes at a time when India is trying to push forward important trade negotiations and strengthen its economic partnerships.
The priorities, however, are varied. India and the US are close to finalising a trade pact, Brazil is emerging as an increasingly important commercial partner, and negotiations for a free trade agreement with Israel are underway. Political changes in any of these countries could influence how quickly those plans move forward.
