India AI Summit 2026 | AI, Trade, Trust: Ireland Pushes Deeper India Ties In Uncertain Global Order
As New Delhi hosts the high-profile AI Impact Summit with participation from over 70 countries, the focus is not just on artificial intelligence but on a larger geopolitical and economic reset underway between India and Europe. Speaking exclusively to NDTV's Senior Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul, Chambers said Ireland views India as a critical long-term partner, particularly as global supply chains are being reshaped by tariff shocks, conflicts, and economic uncertainty. "We've seen a 90% increase in trade between India and Ireland over the last decade even without a free trade agreement," he noted, adding that the FTA could potentially double growth in the next seven years. "In a world defined by disruption, it's positive to see two major economic blocs choosing deeper integration."
