Regional Engagements

Regional platforms and cooperation frameworks

Regional and sub-regional platforms carry India's neighbourhood-first, Act East and connectivity agendas. They set the shared rules on trade, transport, energy and security that decide how resilient a region is as a whole, and they are where policy dialogue, capacity building and joint resilience projects are most practical.
