KEY POINTS
· National interest drives foreign policy, but more is at stake here, the policy is anchored in a nuanced balancing of interests and values. National security remains the key driver.
· By enjoying proximity with the West and demonstrating the capability to cooperate and communicate with the “other” side Russia, the time-tested partner, and China, the principal adversary but also a consequential neighbour India now acts as a balancer and leader.
· More needs to be achieved in regional cooperation and integration. Having concluded that SAARC’s shelf life is over, New Delhi accords priority to BIMSTEC, but this train runs too slow.
· The Indo-Pacific has emerged as a principal theatre for Indian diplomacy. The increased emphasis on cooperation with Japan, Australia and the US has turned the Quad into a strong forum.
· Across the Western shores, prospects have improved with the establishment of I2U2 (India, Israel, U.S. UAE) this became possible due to the progress in India-UAE, India-Israel and UAE-Israel relations.
· Positioning Africa’s eastern and southern flanks as a part of the Indo-Pacific could enable India to craft a series of initiatives to strengthen cooperation in maritime activity, economic development, and the blue economy.
· The increasing engagement of the wider public especially the youth and business community with foreign policy issues reflects the maturity and sophistication of Indian democracy.
