'Outside In' India: Changing Dynamics in Asia
VIEW EVENT DETAILSNew leadership has signalled a change in dynamics between India and its Asian neighbourhood. With bilateral meetings making headlines, several key Asian relationships appear poised for redefinition, while Asia's buoyant economies and markets continue to attract business interests from across the globe. As the new government outlines its diplomatic, economic and geopolitical agenda, how is India viewed from an Asian perspective? Where does India stand in the grand scheme of a rapidly changing region, and how might a rejuvented economic engine secure its role as a major Asian power? Join us for a discussion featuring “outside in” perspectives on India with Marshall M. Bouton and Aisha De Sequeira.
