Consultant, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Gp Capt Ajey Lele’s article ‘Artemis Accords: What India stands to gain or lose?’ has been published in Taaza Khabar News on 29 June 2023.
India is embracing the US for various geopolitical and geoeconomic reasons and signing Artemis could be one part of that larger game. At the same time, India understands that space is too important a domain to be used for ‘earthly’ gains. Years of experience show that India knows how to play geopolitical games to its advantage. It is expected that India would continue to remain a partner of the US in the domain of space and not an ally, says Gp Capt Lele.
