Turkish President Erdogan's recent support for Pakistan and condemnation of India's actions in Kashmir have strained relations between Turkey and India. Erdogan's alignment with Pakistan is seen as a departure from Turkey's historically balanced approach towards India. The military support provided by Turkey to Pakistan, including the deployment of drones, has further fueled tensions. Turkey's close ties with Pakistan can be attributed to their shared Islamist ideals and personal connections between their leaders. Although economic ties between India and Turkey remain strong, the political differences over Kashmir and other strategic issues pose challenges. India has to navigate this delicate situation strategically to safeguard its national interests and global standing.
