Look East, Act East: Indian Imperatives in a Changing World

Date: Jun 28, 2024 Time: 04:00 PM
Look East, Act East: Indian Imperatives in a Changing World

India’s connectivity with South and Southeast Asia has evolved, reflecting the country’s shift from a ‘Look East’ to an ‘Act East’ policy. Perceptions of India among its Eastern neighbours have also changed in tandem.

How is India approaching diplomacy with its neighbourhood? How can it further strengthen relations with South and Southeast Asian nations? And is its focus on the ASEAN helping bolster its prominence in the Indo-Pacific?

Drawing on the book, India’s Relations with Neighbouring South and South East Asian Countries (Springer, 2023), this event will explore India’s Eastern engagements, and what they mean for the world.
