Resumo

Despite their starkly different profiles and global trajectories, Portugal and India can develop a strong partnership by focusing on cooperation in the Portuguesespeaking countries, where Lisbon continues to enjoy disproportionally high influence and where India seeks to pursue its new external interests. This paper reviews the development and convergence in bilateral relations, explores India’s rising interest and engagement with the lusosphere, and forwards specific recommendations for Lisbon and New Delhi to tap into the political, economic, strategic and cultural potential of cooperation in the Portuguese-speaking world.
